Hard hats and hi-vis wouldn't have helped in this situation.

Oh Jesus, I know I wasn't expecting something good from the "not for the faint hearted" but I couldn't watch that to the end.
Did I read the article right? Did three of them actually survive that?

This happened a few years back in my hometown to a young footballer moving goalposts with his mate, absolutely horrific.

Unfortunately these guys hands were already in a clenched position so just latched on more when the shock came.
The wires should have had isolations at least.

It's very sad, I wish I hadn't watched it.

China has a really poor health and safety record, none existed more like. Something like two people each day died during the construction of the Olympic stadium.  :stupid:

A proper understanding of the hazards might have prevented this, a lot is said of Health & Safety in the workplace and some of it can seem trivial but it exists for this reason.
