Systems, methods, or apparatuses for electrically grounding telescoping booms are provided. The systems, methods, and apparatuses can involve a telescoping boom assembly comprised of a plurality of nestable boom segments, and at least one electrically conductive contact provided between each pair of adjacent or successive boom segments. Each electrically conductive contact electrically connects corresponding adjacent or successive boom segments, to provide a predictable or predetermined path of least resistance toward or to ground for current introduced to the telescoping boom by an external energizing source.
