Same principle applies if you're trapped in a car with a downed power line (still energized)laying on it. As long as you stay in the car, the rubber tires keep the circuit from being completed--you won't be electrocuted. If you step out of the car and have one foot on the ground and one still touching the car, you will be electrocuted (circuit gets completed). If you jump out and completely away from the car, landing with both feet simultaneously (i.e. never touching car or ground at the same time)you won't be electrocuted.
True with no path to ground or any potential difference your safe…. Most people don’t realize it but linemen routinely work on live high power lines
I seen this done were a helicopter will hover next to a line and “bond on” (putting a conductive clamp on the line to bring the helicopter potential) then the lineman can go out and work on the hot line
