Final narrative
An employee was changing out insulators and hardware on a lattice 230-kilovolt tower when he saw that the pin that was securing the V-string to the outside phase was falling out. He hooked up a chain hoist to stop it. While going down, the employee dropped the chain hoist, causing it to go by a 69-kilovolt line. He suffered an electric shock by induction, which resulted in third-degree burns on his finger, back, and buttocks.
