    Time for electrocution stories

    I had some work being done in my house in Greece, the plumbers son was helping him that day and while unloading, or carrying piping to the house, he accidentally touched them to the power lines. Now this is a little village up in the mountains, and there insulation isn't so good for power lines. Poor kid had to go to the hospital with bad burns all over his body.

    Damn, now that's what I'd call some smokin'. That guy just plain got hammered into oblivion. Hopefully, he never knew what hit him and he went quickly from the looks of it.

    We had a crane operator swing into power lines and my boss got zapped by 7200 volts, he was back on his feet a couple minutes later and wanted to keep working but the EMT guys told him most people that survive feel that way until the next day and they were right he could hardly move.
    All that power going through your body actually boils the fluids in your joints.

    Like when my high school elective welding teacher had me strike a metal plate to start a weld while I was standing in a pool or rainwater. 60 amps. FAIL!!!

    And old Hodge is thinking..."so that's what happened to pster, he saw Christ because of 60 amps".

    HOLY SHIT! Instant Death! Wow I wasn't expecting that big of a hit. First thought was the video was going to be of somebody playing with an outlet or something small. That was nuts! He was burnt to a crisp! I usually don't click those "Graphic" videos because I rather not watch but curiousity killed the cat on that one.
