    Ikr, this at least makes the pole get hot because current is actually running through part of it.
    But at no point is a human part of the path of least resistance for the electricity.

      the pole wouldn’t get hot unless it was made of a ferrous metal like steel or iron. most of these poles should be made of aluminum.
