Was there a brown pile in the seat when you got out? Yes you are lucky. I work as a machanic for a company that does transmission, distribution, overhead and underground. I have seen machines that were ruined by power lines. We see a couple a year and they are a mess. That's not the bad part. I've seen the guys who have been burned. I feel sorry for them. Some are lucky and get temporary burns and damage. Others are not so lucky. They burn from the inside out. The damage can go on for years. The pain can be unbearable. Saw one guy at a safety meeting about a year ago. Both legs and one arm are artificial. He has internal damage still going on and a lot of pain. His accident was over twenty years ago. Please be careful around electricity. And it's not just the big lines that can kill you. 110 can kill you in an instant. Glad you didn't get burned.
