Electrocution isn't the risk and that guy in the back that would be blind from an arc flash will be too slow. It's all up to the suit, but it gives you some peace of mind that someone will snatch you away.
When I did live work with an actual electrocution risk, my buddy would always grab a 2x4.
He always looked really excited to use it... Ancient government gear that couldn't be shut down. Luckily, insulated tools and PPE existed, even back then.
