As a dispatcher tell me the odds of this. We hired a company to power-wash the outside of our distribution center. During the afternoon one of the guys raises the ariel boom lift he was operating into a 7200 volt high voltage line. He knocks power out for blocks. It takes fire rescue almost 2 hours to get him down (about 15 minutes after hydro shut down all the high voltage lines) He walked away with only a small burn on his neck.

one of the fire rescue guys told me that this was the third incident like this that he had responded to in the last month. The other 2 guys didn't make it

I'd say he is a lucky man we found out that he had been on the job for just over 3 weeks

I'm not scared of many things, but electricity scares me. It'll kill you quick.

Hydro figured that what saved him was that he had wrapped the powerwasher hose around the basket on the lift. The hose was leaking, the hose was also basically running along a now disused railway track. There were multiple burn marks were the hose was resting on the metal track. 3 quarter sized holes were burned through the top rail of the basket, 2 where the high voltage line touched and one where the hose touched. If the voltage had gone through the machine he would have died
