One of my old work mates told me about when he was once working kitting out a new industrial unit. There were several trades working in there at once and the floor was full of snaking 110v cables and transformers. He needed power for his grinder so unplugged a power cable from one of the transformers. There was a couple of screams, an almighty splintering crash and a thud as 2 men hit the floor near him.
The power cable was powering a huge magnetic base drill that two guys were using to drill some holes through the metal roof trusses. When the power was cut, the drill de-magged from the truss (should have been chained off), fell onto the wooden batten they were both sitting on which was resting between two girders, broke the batten and sent them both careering to the floor.
My old work mate did what a lot of people would have done in that situation. Plugged their power cable back into the transformer and did one. :uhoh2:
