Thanks for posting this. I forwarded it directly to my drivers. So easy to do when you’re in a rush

It was posted on our local WhatsApp group, thought I'd share so it might help people think a bit and hopefully stop the same thing happening to someone else.
Will update if there's any more news on the driver.

Some one may know better but pretty sure advice is to stay seated if make contact with over haed lines, and phone for help.
Willow cutting contractor managed to partially fell pole in field with self propelled forager but driver sat tight and was safe. Stay safe as a lot of lines sag in the heat.

If you need to get out the machine (ie on fire) I think you jump off the machine as far as you can, landing with your feet together and bunny hop away?
Don't stride away as electricity can arc up your legs and zap you. That'd give the wedding tackle a bit of a rattle.
Don't assume that the line has been turned off if you can't see any sparking or hear any buzzing, it's standard practice when a break in the wire flags up in the control room for the operators to re-try the line two or three times so it would just be your luck to get out just as they threw the switch on again.

You can see he’s had it all the way up high by the ram on the back.. I was always told to have them toppers nearly scraping the floor at all times because they are wobbly when up high obviously

always tried to see the softer side to this thread errors and occurrences that set as a reminder. However occasionally things pop up that serve as a stark reminder in times of haste as to the the dangers. I often here people say oh it only this or that you know not that far to which I always state now that’s what they said just before x. Especially the experienced ones it’s important to be that voice in their ear and make sure they hear. Keep it up pto police and is that tied down saving lives

Many years ago I did the same thing with a tractor trailer. Drove around a building and snagged the high tension wires going to a manufacturing facility. I was told to remain in the cab and keep my hands on the wheel. Under no circumstances was I to even think about touching anything metal or even get my hands close to metal. Took almost an hour for the Hydro people to show up and cut the power.
Maybe a step to far.......!
