OMG! Just seen a guy fall from a pylon and get electrocuted!

[Moose.]

What a morning! I was getting out the car at Weston General Hospital for an appointment at 10am when I saw, out of the corner of my eye, a huge blue fireball from one of the large electricity pylons in the field opposite the hospital. Initially assumed it was a bird or something that had shorted the wires out but realised there was actually a man hanging by his feet from one of the wire

By this point he was smoking (I assume his clothes had been burnt or something) so I legged it into the hospital and barged past the queue at reception to get them to call someone. Within minutes the fire brigade had turned up and seemed to be talking to the guy who I think was still alive and shouting to the ground.

I had to leave for work but I hope the guy was ok!

You got some pics though, right?

[Moose.]

I did but not sure if it's appropriate to post them here seeing as I don't know if he survived or not at the moment.

Goodness gracious great bal..... I'll get me coat


Hope he's not too badly hurt too

Nothing will stop a smoker from having a fag

Well done on raising the alarm

Jesus. That is horriffic. Poor bloke. Hope he's OK, but invariably, most people don't survive this sort of thing AFAIK.

Admit it, you thought of PH as soon as you saw it and thought "Oh crap, they will demand pictures!"

I think it would be appropriate to wait and find out whether the guy made it before we go posting photos. Bad taste IMO

[rev-erend]

Today - you stepped up to the plate and made a difference. Good on ya.

Hope the guy recovers.

If he's just horribly injured is it ok to post?

[speedchick]

[Matt_N]

At least you didnt remain static and actually did something to help.

[cottonfoo]

Poor bloke, hope he's alright.

Also hope he now has some electricity-based super powers.

Only with a custard test.

Hope he survived, and good on you OP!
