Good grief, man! With luck like that you haven't bought a lottery ticket yet? Get moving!

And congratulations. You are one lucky, uh, stiff.

Wow, that is amazing that you are still around. I've been hit with 120 and 277 and when I got hit with the 277 I thought I was a dead man. Went through the same tests.

Wow, glat to hear that your living! That field of buisness is never safe and it awesome to hear that you lived thru such a misshap. I couldn't imagine how that boom operator woulda felt if you would have bit the big one. Lucky man, can never be too safe.

So lemme guess, if your name already wasn't Sparky, is it now?

You are damn lucky, I had anincident with a transmitterfrom a fighter andended up getting 2100 volts of pulsed RF through my hand and arm. The RF cooked the muscle in my hand and wrist and it took forever to freakin heal.
