I have very little memory of it actually happening other than the POW inside my head and my friend standing there looking more afraid than I was at the time.. I do remember my chest hurting for a week where he hit me with the broom.. LOL
440 is no joke..I don't recommend anyone touch it barehanded..
Had similar experiences Gramps. Scary stuff.
My plumber buddy almost died from a live big gauge wire that was left hot and loose on the floor once.
It hit the hot water heater and knocked out the power to the entire suburb.
The electrician just scoffed it off like no big deal. Asshole.
Should of at least wrapped it up and put tape over it or somethin'.
I don't like most electricians lol
