Electrical accidents
The comments on the dangers of voltages refer.
There are numerous accounts in the electricty industry of linesmen surviving high voltage accidents (11kV, 33kV and even higher) as a result of the discharge arc tending to track on the surface of the skin rather than through the heart. The bad news is that these accidents result in horrendous burns with subsequent death or disfigurement.
It is interesting to see that although high voltage network switching is rigourously controlled with SOPs, permits, cross checking, control rooms with radio links, radio procedures and readbacks etc etc, accidents still occur as result of a combination of things like time pressure, severe weather, taking shortcuts, attention lapses etc - sound familiar???
