Investigation Summary
A power line worker was working from an aerial lift, taking the slack out of a 7200-volt overhead power line that had been moved from an old utility pole to a new one. When the employee was finished pulling the slack out of the line, it had formed a loop in front of him. When the employee cut the loop, one end hit one side of his body, and the other end hit the other side. He was electrocuted.
