- A number of years ago I worked with a guy at a summer job whose brother
- had a near fatal experience. They were playing near the RR in the Bronx
- (New Yawk) when his brother fell off the top of a steap embankment. His
- natural reaction was to grab that wire so he wouldn't fall. Only
- problem was that wire provided 11kVAC to drive the electric trains. He
- said his brother only survived because the path the current took through
- his body did not pass through his heart.
-
- Take it for what it's worth.
