OT: Another reason to look UP!

You have to wonder how accidents like this continue to happen, when they would be so easy to avoid with a little common sense.

"A local man was injured when the crop sprayer he was working on made contact with a 7200 volt overhead line. The accident happened when he was connecting a hose to a tank on the sprayer from a nearby semi-truck. The operator of the sprayer, which was parked directly below the power line raised the sprayer boom, and touched the line...
The victim suffered electrical burns to both arms and legs. Three of the four tires on the sprayer blew out and started fires. The incident caused a power outage in the area..."
