While rewiring my workshop -formerly a pig pen, I happened to shock myself 4 times while trying to figure out the wiring. They were short finger zapping bursts, nothing more than a big ouch oh (s)hit that hurts
It reminded me of the time back in 1986 when I was driving rock truck in an open pit mine in Canada when I was on night shift. The dispacher told me to dump the load in a certain place. I did, only when I lifted the box, it hit the power lines running the whole mine and the town of Faro which was 6 miles away
I remember a big flash, then darkness everwhere. The guys driving the other trucks who were mostly on dope at the time recalled a burst of light running around the whole minesite. It made their night The dispacher remembered me, did I do it?
Yeah, it was me. The 12 foot high rubber tires insulated me from the shock of who knows how many thousands of volts. The town was out for six hours, the rest of the shift got to sleep in their trucks, I was fined a days pay, even though I dumped where I was told
So what were your most shocking moments?
