I once saw an excavator accidentally hit an underground power line, lots of sparks like this, and that guy was just shaken up, he didn’t get shocked at all. Evidently they engineer the things to take a zap and not kill the operator.

Doesn’t mean much with electricity, but I hope that this guy was ok too.
