Another example.
Did you read in the paper last week about the young boy who
was killed when he touched an electrical wire in his garden.
Seems he had built a pond in the garden and ran an ordinairy
extension lead out to it to run a fountain.
He had used an ordinairy extension lead and STAPLED the wire
to the fence.
One of the staples had gone through the cable and was live.
The ground was wet, he had wet shoes and socks, and touched
the wire, but made contact with the staple, and bang !
The electrician who was called in found there was no circuit breaker,
and the wrong size fuse in the extension cable.
He was only 14 so you have to say the parents take some of the
blame.
This is why we need somebody to check.
