Sorry to hear that. Prayers to the family.
Electricity is nothing to mess with. No room for error.
no joke i can honestly say thats the only thing in this buisness that actually scares the crap out of me. im working around high tension all the time and when you feel the hairs stand up on the back of your kneck when your splitting phases of wires its a scary feeling. those are the only days at work where i just cant wait to be done and when im done i say thank god for letting it all go smooth.
im a man that admits my mistakes when i was around 16 i started cutting trees on my own with very limited skills and i droped a lead that hit the high tensions and acutally laid on the line. it tripped some breaker killing the power to the line but this makes me think how close i actually was to death.
thank god im not a hack anymore this buisness is no joke anyone thinking you can make some spare cash just by buying a chainsaw and a ladder is nuts. you are gonna get hurt its as easy as that.
this company did alot of work around here and where experienced and i knew the owner personally. we talked about contracting my bucket truck out to them a few days a week not to long ago.
but after something like this i dunno if i would even wanna do it anymore. would really mess with your head
RIP BROTHER.
PLEASE STAY SAFE GUYS!!! no more of us need to be injured. or worse!
Looks like we had a similar thing happen here (VA):
HENRICO, VA (WWBT) - Henrico police say one man is dead following what appears to be an accident while cutting trees.
It happened just before 9:00 Thursday morning in the 1500 block of Timbercrest Court.
According to police the victim is a male in his mid 20's.
The man was in a tree cutting a limb when police say it touched a power line electrocuting the man.
Police also say the victim was experience cutting trees but this was his first day on the job with a new company.
Rescue attempts were made to revive the man but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
they may not do this in your area but in my area power companies will come out and sleeve the lines with a piece of insulation. this could save your life in a mishap.
