Investigation Summary
One supervisor, one city employee, and an employee working for the city through a federal program were using a 0.7-metric ton Chevrolet pickup truck fitted with a Skylift aerial lift to remove athletic shoes from a three-phase overhead power line. The shoes were hanging by their laces. The 7-kilovolt (phase-to-ground) power line ran diagonally across the outfield in a baseball field in a city park. The employees feared that the wind blowing on the shoes would deflect the power line conductors into each other. Working from the aerial lift, the city employee was using a tool to dislodge the shoes. The tool got too close to the power line, and the employee was electrocuted. He had entry and exit wounds on both hands. Witnesses lowered the aerial lift bucket, removed the injured employee, and tried unsuccessfully to revive him.
