It's sort of rather hard to gauge how big that pylon in pic No. 2 actually is, as there's nothing else in the picture to scale it against.
What size is that warning sign?.
The thing about poles and pylons in windy conditions, it's not just the wind resistance of the pole that can bend/break it, but the two spans of conductors on each side that make the pole move as the wires get pulled by the wind currents.
