I was riding a 4 wheeler down a pipeline in Ruston as a kid in the early 80s and hit a cable someone put up. To this day I still think about how lucky I am that my dad out a gun rack on the four wheeler about a week before. The gun rack was strong enough to cause the cable to come lose from the tree. In Louisiana, a landowner would go to jail for a VERY long time for doing that. VERY long time.

That is a very scary situation but it sounds different than the one that the OP linked. You were in the middle of a pipeline and it sounds like it was aimed for your neck/head. The information that we know so far about the death is not of the same nature.

Agreed.
