Final narrative
A crew was trimming tree limbs away from a 7.2-kilovolt primary electrical line. An employee was 25 feet above the ground in a maple tree. His fall protection was tied to the tree 40 feet above the ground. While removing a 12-inch stub with a chainsaw, the chain made contact with the climbing line, cutting it completely. The employee fell to the ground below, resulting in injuries that required hospitalization.
