Was thinking (OK, enough laughter), if this was on site there's some serious safety issues.

1) Not wearing adequate head protection.
2) Incorrect safety footware (obviously no mid sole protection).
3) Failure to Ensure appliances are adequately earthed.
4) Failure to Ensure circuits are adequately earthed and protection functions correctly.

I mean seriously, haven't we taught you better than that ? :eek::p:D
 
My all time favourite was a nurse that hit a cable with a spade in the garden and it blew her twenty foot across the garden straight through the open patio window. And if it hadn’t been for the storage heater on the other side of the room, she would have kept going. And only yesterday a handy person from a well known hotel chain told me about his electrical adventure the day before that blew him off the steps into next week. The best one I’ve seen was a foreman sitting on a swivel chair when he touched the back of a circuit board and shot across the office still holding the end of the telephone. That was truly impressive!:D
 
In all seriousness though the worst shock I got was before I started my apprenticeship and was moving house. So I've got on my bed to take my light shade off the pendant.

Unscrewed the wrong bit :eek:
Wish I did get thrown off it :D I mean I'm no expert but it must have lasted maybe an hour (Or felt like it)
Lasts longer than falling down the stairs does.
 
who looks at the mantelpiece when poking the fire?
 
Ah but it goes in one side and out the other ;)

And it was more than half a second for sure haha maybe I'm immune to electrocution?

Be right back. Off to test my hypothesis.

Last spark I knew that thought he was immune to electrocution, Died realising he wasn't.

We're going to miss you Doody RIP.:(
