A chap came round to fix the underfloor insulation under my house. Silver coloured sort of stuff - some of it had come away. Well there he was staple gunning away & I heard a very loud, "FCUKKKKKKK!" The chap said he was able to kick himself away & crawl out from under & yelled at me to turn the electricity off at the mains. Said there was blue flame & everything. Got an electrician round who did his thing & deemed it safe. But he didn't know what caused it. The staple gun chap didn't staple into a wire he said, but will be looking into what happened. The poor electrocuted bloke was mostly ok, just had a dead arm, sore jaw & painful ear.
And to think, cats & wekas & hedgehogs, etc live & play under the house; they could have been zapped!
yeah he was, cos if he had gone to the docs he would have had the medical back up for a claim, thank the lord he was a fool, you may never hear from the twonk again
