Guys,
I had a rather strange callout today,
this guy, had a power pole on his property, that had a huge climbing vine all over it and he went to control this beast.
He must have been trying too hard to prune this thing back.
He cut the overhead Phase wire and it blew the hedge trimmers he was using, to smithereens and threw him off the ladder he was standing on, he is now in Hospital, with serious Spinal Injuries.
It would have only taken a simple phone call to the local Power Board, to get the power turned off, while he was doing the pruning.
How stupid can you get?.
When I reached the place, most of the vine was still on the pole, it was huge!.
Ever seen anything as silly as this?.
That guy(if he ever walks again), will never try that trick again.
