Helicopters and Wires

Anyone else besides me here ever hit a wire in a helicopter? I did it
at night while crop dusting in California. Was a steel cable and all it
did was leave "chatter" marks in the paint and tore the end cap. Very
close call and we had to replace the blades (which were just about
timed out anyway).
I have a healthy respect for wires and fly in that environment quite a
bit so have some opinions and experience if anyone is interested.
