Any time the lineman have worked on the wires near my place, they ground the lines out by connecting a jumper before they touch anything.
The primary protection of back feed is a transfer switch or approved lock-out device.
Not the jumper.
Never was implying it was meant to be the sole device. I'm just surprised there are still lineman who work on "cold" wires using only faith or a one time test.
