NASCAR hicks vie for Darwin Award
If you allow your 15 year old daughter to smoke at the dinner table,
in front of her kids, you might be a NASCAR fan Billy Bob, Billy Ray, y'all watch them power wires now hear! 2 fans electrocuted outside Talladega track Two attempting to anchor flagpole when wind blows it into power line The Associated Press Updated: 10:21 a.m. ET April 25, 2006 TALLADEGA, Ala. - Two NASCAR fans were electrocuted in a campground outside Talladega Superspeedway when a flagpole they were erecting touched power lines. Donny Lynn Wright, 42, of Remlap and Keith Alan Stell, 39, of Birmingham died Monday, said track spokeswoman Kristi King. Talladega County Coroner Jerry Castleberry pronounced them dead at the scene. The Aaron’s 499 race will be run at the track on Sunday. Fans commonly use poles to fly flags touting their favorite driver. Witnesses said Wright and Stell were attempting to anchor a flagpole when it was caught by wind and pushed into power lines running along a road outside the track. “They were trying to pull the flagpole back off the lines,” said James Snider, who was sitting about 30 yards away from the victims’ camp site. “I heard a loud pop that sounded like a firecracker, and I went running because the power lines fell. They were both lying on the ground, and two women were trying to get to them to get them away from the wires.” © 2006 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

A similar thing happened at Fort AP Hill...3 or 4 boyscout leaders were putting up a large tent and the main pole contacted a power line killing several last summer in VA.

I think it's pretty safe to say that I dont take any chances with ANY materials near power lines.
Pretty much a 1st-grade taught lesson.
