I had heard about it but did not see the details, I wondered

how they could be electrocuted as the first thing you would do is make sure the power source was down for the old board. But yea when operating equipment you have to pay attention to what is overhead. Sad for them. The wife would have been fine if she did not try and help him and I wonder how the guy was electrified since being on the equipment should have grounded him unless he tried to get off of it.

If his wife and son were helping, this was clearly a DIY project -- EDGEMAN 03/13/2019 10:07AM
