Had a contractor get hit with 4160 volts.

He never touched anything. The power jumped about 3ft through the air. I've been hit 3 times with 480 volts. Had acid and other chemicals sprayed on me from broken equipment.

Had one worker drill through a concrete wall right into 7,000 volt line.

That let the smoke out of the drill.

Im ok, thanks. Ive seen enough idiots in the machine shops. I went back to my trade center and helped with student questions and watching students set up mills, lathes, grinders ect. One kid kept talking in class and not paying attention to instructions. he was on a lathe and his baggy, untucked shirt got caught in the threading spindle on the lathe.

It wound up and he fought back and *POOOF*! Just like superman, the shirt split in two and he fell backwards. He had friction burns on his shoulders. He was lucky he didnt get ****** up.
