    He is wide open too. Not good for safe conditions.

    I used to be that way, nearly getting in dangerous situations a few times. Usually doing 2-3 man jobs alone.

    He made a right hand turn from the left lane. Smacked his fuel tank, bike spun under wheels, he got one of my shoes. Torn knee ligament, burn on neck from truck muffler. Only missed on day work.

    Had a tech on a job where another tech got severe electrical burns due to slipping with wet shoes on concrete and falling into a starter.

    Went over safety issues and procedures with him on the way to the job. Locked disconnect out and had him start repairs in starter. Got my biddle megger out to check the power wiring at the starter….wonder which line he is working on…found out real quick when he screamed an jumped back about 10’. He gave me a few new family names.🙂

    Oh wait, there was the other time I was standing inside the letter "O" of a mobile high-rise sign and reaching up to the top sockets got jolted.
    Had I moved one foot back that would have resulted in falling about 80'
    😲

    My worse shock was servicing a marquee sign for a cinema.
    I grabbed a ballast load line with several ballast on it.
    It actually held on to me for several seconds before I involuntarily pulled off.
    Had I been standing in water I probably wouldn't be typing this now. 😮
