I thought I never be in an incident myself , til May 17 2000. We were working on a double dead end, twenty seven feet away from the new pole , my lineman and an apprentice in one bucket and me in the other. We had just done b and c phase and ready to sleeve the wire when the tail got away it made contact on the hot side of a phase and b the rest is history , only one man got flash burns and he is ok. I left out many details here, the most important thing is rubber up good .
