2768 - Why there is OSHA

If you are squeamish this may not be for you. But it's a perfect example of why OSHA came into being although this happened in China. I've seen an out take of this before but never the ten minute version that shows how screwed you are when a 10,000 volt power line gets ahold of you.

This shows four guys pushing a scaffold into a power line. One finally gets away. Two more dead. One burns to death.



OK so you're not going to watch the whole ten minutes. Well they get zapped pretty soon into the video. The guy that eventually gets away zaps himself again at the 3:20 mark. Then gets up and walks away at the 4:30 mark. Never to come back to help. Then go to the 8:40 mark to see the burning guy lift his head up. You can watch him burn all the way to the end.

Mike, thanks for sharing this, but I'm a little squeamish to watch the video. Pretty creepy.
