Thanks for the responses.

No, if those things were that dangerous, I wouldn't be here. I've had tree limbs all over the 120V lines where I used to live. Like you say, the 120V lines are usually insulated, although it's best not to assume that (although as usual, I didn't listen to my own advise). But the wires on the high voltage side of the transformer usually are not insulated.
