I’ll have to get Big Jim to tell me the story again about getting pinned to the ground by electricty while he was laying on the ground in a crawl space under a house.
Basically, the current was traveling through his arm and coming out his shoulder. As soon as he realized he wasn’t dead, he figured out he could pry himself off the wire by kicking his feet against a joist.

Electricity is no joke. A guy I used to work with has a scar from ear to ear under his chin from an incident very similar to this scenario where he got electrocuted. 20 years later that scar is prominent. Scary stuff…

That’s all the instruction you got? If he got electrocuted, where would you have hit him?

240 ain’t that bad, you would have only had to whack him lightly. its when you get into 3 phase and higher.
