Usually overhead service to a house has both hots insulated and they are wrapped around a bare ground for physical support and to complete the circuit for the center tap to the pole pig. It would take a serious impact, more than a casual brush, to break this cable or even strip the insulation.
I accidentally grabbed a hold of my service entrance once while putting up Christmas lights after losing my balance. Thankfully, as you mentioned, it is insulated. I no longer put up Christmas lights.
