Reminds me of when, as a fresh faced kid, I "found" a 5k volt underground line with the State Parks backhoe - nice display of sparks and smoke. I had been told that the rubber tires would keep me safe unless I created a ground by stepping off the machine. Seemed like forever until the Superintendent wondered where I was and rescued me by shutting down the power. I don't know til this day whether I would have been fried by stepping off the backhoe, but I sure wasn't about to find out.

When I worked in cable tv early 80s just out of the Army my co-worker with a jack hammer hit an underground electric and it blew him out of the hole, scared the crap out of me, he survived with some minor numbness but he was already a little screwed up so didn't notice much difference... I also remember the wood shop teacher with the missing fingers, kind of always wondered about that...

That is Low Brow Humor. 🤔
I also was a "Heavy Equipment Operator" at a "in the Boonies," Sawmill here in Mtn City. Most of the "Old Timers," were missing a finger here or there. 😮
It was a very dangerous job. I took two logs through my Grapple Loader window, (Volvo L90E) in a two year time frame. (Not my fault.)
Crappy pay, Crappy benefits, found a new job.

No tried for a slot in the Seabees but there were no openings at the time.
Was on a destroyer DDG-17. It is no longer in service it had a forward boiler room fire burnt through the 04 level, killed 18 sailors and one officer.

Long shot, thought we may have known each other.

Jump off with both feet at the same time, don't step off and create a circuit.

Thought about that at the time, but didn't think it was worth risking something I thought might work. Comparatively, the backhoe seat seemed mighty comfortable, even if a might cold.
