Few days before, i had a daily wage worker to pluck some coconuts from a tree. A part of tree(branch/leaves) was touching to an high-tension wire that carried some high voltage(maybe some kV).
When he climbed the tree and when he was at the peak of the tree, he said that he felt an electric shock. The question is: ' Would this cause an electric shock?( Since he was standing on the tree, and was by noway touching the ground directly(also with any conductor or anything).
What seems to me is that he is at the same potential(as he's on a tree), i suppose he acted like that to attract some extra payment from me(since i would feel that he did the job with some extra risk).
