Trumpy,
Ain't trying to start an argument here, bro, but you know yourself when you sectionalize a line (open up two ends and ground it out for you non-lineys) you are considered perfectly safe to bare hand. Even grounded though, if some twit in the middle pours line voltage back in, you will still find deadly voltages.
The way we were taught to ground years ago, was changed in the last 5 years for just that reason, but even that method is not bullet proof. I've worked "dead" lines with just leathers many times, but again back to the twit rule, just danged lucky it never happened.
