Discuss Bang! Large flash / bang at voltmeter tips. in the Australia area at ElectriciansForums.net

Have got to laugh at your posting you tell us you cut through a cable using a leatherman and got a leccy shock then the next paragraph you try and sell us a safe isolation kit,
don't you think you should have used one before cutting the cable.

I agree, but I didn't plan on cutting the cable! I slipped as I was trying to cut the lamp free that was gaffered onto the truss (Should have being a G clamp) My boss at the time wasn't too impressed as I came hurtling down onto the stage!

Fortunately I got away with a telling off and a few bruises ;)

What did your boss say having problems flying Tinkerbell
 
My boss was pretty worried: I was only 16 but you tend to "bounce" when your that age! I was really lucky that we were packing down the gig, the whole stage plunged into darkness with a huge bang and a crash! It could have being much worse if the stage was full of equipment, the leatherman ended up on the floor and got banned from all future events!
