Your lucky, when I worked for another utility the guy with the next locker over did a 119KV shoulder to heel looked like someone carved out a chunk of flesh right down the side of his body, inch wide, inch deep, destroyed his foot. Somebody screwed up the swiching order when he was putting on grounds, made me a believer, 10mA across the chest and St. Peter.
