Hi Bill, I am a professional electrical safety training instructor. I currently developing some OSHA 1910.269 training for a utility in the Southeast. I would like permission to share this video as part of the training. Ths is a great video that every linesperson should see.

When I was a firefighter I was electrocuted outside a house fire buy a downed power line from pole hidden in tall grass. I remember is my knees buckling, putting my hand down on ground to catch myself and immediately seeing sparks and feeling like I was hit by a truck as I was thrown backwards. When I regained consciousness it felt like a elephant was sitting on my chest as I was having trouble breathing and in pain. I was rushed to hospital and they were surprised I wasn't dead. I refused to stay for observation like a dumbass. I just wanted to go home. I've been scared of electricity ever since.

Can't say I blame you. I don't know why fire peeps don't wear Novaks. There's always a chance of electrical. Glad you're alive. But that's probably how Luke felt when The Emperor was frying his gonads.

[@TheFaustianMan]

Was I the only one getting nervous when he was putting his hook near the central junction box?

[@richb4099]

I knew someone who hit an overhead power line with a dump truck. Got out and nothing happened, reached back in the truck for something and got blown apart. Lost both legs and had other serious injuries. Even the 120/240 power on the secondary side can easily kill you.

[@JoseNunez600]

He should have staid in the truck the rubber wheels were keeping him insulated , or gotten out hopping with both legs together so no circuit would be created

[@TheTreasureGuard]

Will remember that bunny hop.
