Guys, it’s 220V, a pair of kitchen rubber gloves and rubber boots would allow you to do this safely. As electricity stealing ideas go, it isn’t the worst I’ve seen. Plenty of wires just get twisted together mid span and I’ve seen people trying to tap into HV transmission routes with janky step down transformers. Asian utilities theft is pretty mad. Note I’m not saying this is “safe” but it’s not “oh my god you’re going to die instantly in a ball of flame” dangerous.
