After getting zapped 3 times over the last 10 years I've pretty much had it and stand back these days and let the linemen and mechanics do the actual physical work on the high voltage\current lines. While I miss working with my hands on a daily basis at the same time I'm fortunate I'm still alive and have all digits. Every time I've had an accident or near miss it was because I was either tired or had done it "a million times" and was in a hurry. I've seen people cooked and it's not cool. Sadly things like this are a reminder to those who remain that we have to be diligent and always on the lookout for safety and accident avoidance.
