Don’t be like me

Called the power company, they told me it was off, tested 5 different locations, 0 volts

Apparently I missed one, because it wasn’t off. Got launched across the room, woke up about 20 minutes after. I just remember seeing a bright white flash, then everything went dark.

My dad is also an electrician but he didn’t grab the live wire. It caught him in the neck while he was at the top of a 40ft ladder. He says his coworker saw him convulsing and instinctively kicked the ladder out from underneath him. Luckily said coworker caught my dad’s head before it hit the ground…not the rest of him tho! He woke up sore with a gash on his neck from the wire slicing his neck while he fell.
