The accident you describe is not uncommon over here, as well as the ill advised that try to walk?? along third rail DC lines in the south.
All absolutely tragic and unneccesary.
Saw a photo of two overhead transformers in Scotland this week, covered in gaffiti. The "artist" had been within 0.5m of live 11,000V (our safety approach is 1.2m
All this despite warning signs on all live equipment as per EEC
