Did I read the article right? Did three of them actually survive that?

Post by: skard on February 05, 2014, 11:24:00 am: 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.

Post by: GTI5 on February 05, 2014, 10:26:29 pm: 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.
