If you are inside a vehicle that has a power line on it, do not get out. The car acts as a protective cage. The safest course of action is to:

1. Stay Inside: Call emergency services and the power company immediately and wait for help to arrive. Warn anyone approaching to stay away.

2. Only Exit as a Last Resort: If the vehicle is on fire, you must exit. To do so safely, open the door, jump completely clear of the vehicle without touching the car and the ground at the same time. Land with your feet together, then shuffle or hop away with your feet touching each other until you are at least 10 meters away. This shuffling motion prevents a deadly electric shock from "step potential."

While our company, Ningbo Changshi Electric Power Machinery Manufacturing Limited, manufactures the equipment used to prevent these issues in the first place, such as overhead transmission line equipment and underground cable laying equipment, it's crucial for everyone to understand these safety protocols in the rare event of an incident.
