An employee and his supervisor were moving an irrigation line in an experimental pear orchard. The 1.8-meter-tall employee was moving the 6.3-meter length of aluminum pipe attached to a riser. He was loading it onto a pipe trailer. He was holding the pipe in a vertical position, and it contacted an overhead power line that was about 7.4 meters above the ground.
