Wow, Some good stories in here. I can't think of any good ones myself, but my brother had a very close call. He decided to climb a power pole behind a church one night. He got to the top and tried to step back to enjoy the view. As he fell backwards off the pole he instinctively grabbed for any handhold. What he happened to grab was a high voltage line (something like 72,000 volts) going into a transformer. The power traveled through his arm, across his chest (stopping his heart), and blew most of his thigh off as it was arced to the ground bolt. He fell 35 feet and landed flat on his back in a pile of landscape bark. The doctor says the jolt of the landing restarted his heart. He spent several weeks in the U burn center where they had to take a skin graft off his good thigh to reconstruct the damaged one. I can still remember the smell of burning flesh during the car ride to the emergency room. :sick:
