Abstract: On November 16, 2006, Employee #1 was in a truck-mounted aerial lift bucket trying to restore power to some homes after a cutout had blown, causing a circuit to open. He was using a "shotgun stick" either to pull vines away from a pole or to take the tip off a primary phase line when he contacted either wet green vines or the stinger wire. Employee #1 was electrocuted. He was wearing leather work gloves, though properly rated rubber gloves were inside the bucket.
