Of course he can't since those are communication lines, not power lines.

The upper section looks like power to me, but yeah most of the mess looks like coax
That's not a bad one. You can still see the pole.
I was in Bali and watched this old dude in flip flops standing on a metal step that was in a puddle, fix one of those electrical wire nests. It was insane, absolutely no fear.
The power of the flip flops!
Brazil man. Some estimates that 15% of all electricity generated in the country gets stolen.
There's a lot of wires but they aren't twisted and tangled, they're organized and run straight.
Those are telecommunication wires. The above might be electric, but they are much neater.
Because Thai people know about KCL and KVL
The messy wiring is all communications stuff, telephone, internet etc. The power line are above those and are not messy at all. So really it's actually pretty safe. It just looks like it isn't.
