Took 7200 volts and lived

[DHall243]

So here's my story, Im an electrician underground in a coal mines, Wednesday morning at 3am I was hit by 7200 volt (the same as a powerline). Our power output is a total of 12470 volts. There had been 3 others and myself touch the lead that got me beforehand. It had been cut in two and stripped away because of installation of a KVA box. My father had handed the cable to me and within that time I was setting it down a blade from the splitter a mile away has a clip brake and set up power in the lead. The time of the electrocution was probably the most amazing feeling I've ever experienced. It had knocked the power all the way out side which was two or more miles. The first thing I said to my dad, I'm ok, call an ambulance, and get me a fucking ciggerate ready when we get out there. Im on my way home from Cincinnati right now, when I get home I'll give you more info.
