High voltage lines and scaffold don't mix!

Apparently they weren't seriously hurt!

I don't think I'd let them loose with a pair of scissors!

Prob thought they were far enough away.

Someone I know was killed in a JCB when he was working on a site - swung round to get a bucket of sand and the driver had tipped the sand about 5m further over than last time, rolled over to get it with the bucket out and bang. Brown bread.
