Ouch? only Ouch? One day about 10 of us were helping this dude put up his CB antenna. You know, one of those 60 footers. Had a rope on the top of the antenna hooked up to a van on the other side of the roof. And a couple of guide lines held onto by a few guys on the antenna side. At the base was a hole full of water. That is where I was. Had some tennis shoes on, probably saved my life when the rope broke. I saw the rope break, and tried to run away. The guy next to me didn't see it break. He wen paralell to his hands and his back hit my arm and I got shocked. 10,000 volts I think. The electricity came out of the top of my toes! My brother had one of the guide wires. He got it pretty good as well. I don't think any one got killed, but I don't know for sure. It was a big mess. Ended my football career. I recovered to play again, but I missed that season. edit: The antenna fell on a high wire.
