This isnt my story, but one from a friend that saw the aftermath of the event.
One of my buddies from college works for CE electric, and one day an old hand and an apprentice who had just completed a health and safety course the week before, where delivering a transformer to a site, but where not to connect it up.
After getting the heavy 250KG transformer out of the truck and into place on its concrete platform, the old guy stopped for a break and the apprentice went off to clear up some of the rubbish round the corner. The older guy went and put some music on on the truck radio and went back to the completely unconnected dead transformer and leant against it with his left arm, palm flat.
The apprentice came back round the corner and saw his boss standing there with his hand touching the transformer rocking his head back and fourth, thinking that he was being electricuted, he picked up a piece of wood and ran right at him from behind giving no warning, and brought the piece of wood down right on his arm, breaking it.
They no longer work together..... cant say why
