The lighter side of power line accidents. While working with 2nd year apprentice, who was on his hooks, he was stripping a 3phase 40 ft.pole with an alley arm on top. He some how undid the brace at the bottom and climbed up under the arm. He stuck his head under the arm and the brace came off and there he was pinned between the pole and an 8ft arm across the back off his neck. I was one span away with a twin bucket and two journyman and hastaly backed up so the boys could get him out of the bite. No worse for wear and what looked like a giant hicky on his cheek from kissing the pole. Is this our future??? I hope not. Does any one need a three @ half foot whantabee?? With an egg shaped head.
Some were in (Epcor)Edmonton Alberta, Canada
