Sparky,
Perfect advice, I use to give my apprentices one more piece of advice for that one. POINT YOUR LEGS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. Yup, that causes a wierd twist, but here's why.

An arc flash causes an immediate "flight" response in the body. I've known men, and read reports, where the guy runs right into the flash, 'course the bigger the disco/switchgear, the worse this becomes. I always practice and teach them to turn their legs, if something happens at least their turned away from the danger. Wierd but true......hey, that could be a forum here [Linked Image]
