TBH I'm not sure what the problem with the cable could be if you

yoru back. Slack enough not to restrict any movement and it'll

your arm well and leaving being behind you, out of the cutters

Some of us learn these things the hard way...I did survive, though.

Which bit half strangling yourself with a cable or cutting the cable?

Anything mains powered outside should be fed via and RCD somewhere.
If you come into contact with mains it'll still hurt, if up a ladder
the jerk reaction might knock you off balance and you'll count half a
dozen cycles or so before it trips but that is far more preferable to
no RCD.

DAMHIKT...
