Please _don't_ get stuck on power lines.
According to NHS Direct, "approximately 50 people die and 4,000 people require treatment from electricity related injuries."

Don't know what to say about this, 
Except that it provided me with a mental picture of Ford Prefect, dangling from some hi-voltage cables after having just fallen out of the sky on the back of a multi-dimensional sofa, reaching for his trusty guide to find out what to do. 
thanks for the tips

More ways to get stuck:
Get accidentally caught in a twister and then flung or dropped on the wires.
Making poor navigation and thermal-hopping choices while hang-gliding.
A hurricane or earthquake brings the wires down to your level.
A flood breaks a levee, raising you (and hopefully, the boat you are in) to wire level.
Misjudging the quantity of charge in your cannon for a Human Cannonball act (and a weak tent).

You could also get stuck by being overweight for the specs upon using an aging bungee wire.

That could also be a way back down again 
I carry a bungee rope with me for just such an occasion.

Me too!
Now that we have enlightened everyone of all the myriad ways, we can only hope that they can see the need and also be prepared.
