Surprisingly common in anime, shonen especially, is the tendency to run on power lines when racing to get somewhere. While at first doing this seems perfectly reasonable - after all, why run along the ground where you would have to follow the roads when you can just use the power lines and go straight there - there is a slight problem. Power lines may well support crows,<ref>as long as they're only touching one line at a time - if it touches two or more at once, its body acts as a bridge between them, resulting in a fried birdie</ref>, but almost certainly not the weight of human beings. [[Don't Try This At Home|Things are even worse with high tension power lines]]; according to the History Channel, even the crews who maintain the things, with all their training and protective gear, occasionally die working on these. So, merely touching a high tension power line and anything connected to the ground (or another line next to it) is as close as one can get to a death sentence. Needless to say, [[Rule of Cool]] reigns supreme.
