Had a call yesterday from a guy who used to stay with us quite frequently, but haven't seen in a while. He made a reservation for three days at the end of January. He said he needed some R&R before returning to work from medical leave.
He's an electrician, and in September while working in a bucket 30 feet above the ground he was electrocuted with 12,000 volts. He says it was a freak accident. The current arced & used him as a conductor. He doesn't remember of course, but his friends say he fell from the bucket. What a lucky guy to have lived to tell this scary tale. He broke his leg & hip and still has residual burn marks on his head, but, remarkably, sounded as if he has recovered quite well.
A professional electrician for 18 years, he says that reqardless of all precautions, sometimes events are beyond one's control and that he thanks God every day for his survival.
