Why?
Perhaps I could have worded that a bit better so it didn't sound so callous or morbid....
But I have always felt that seeing the effects of incidents like these would help to drive home the importance of proper PPE and double-checking one's work. I have run into other EC's or even service techs with a very cavalier attitude toward the hazards of working with electricity..and they never want to heed verbal warnings. Thankfully those kinds of folk are the exception more than the rule.
I have always studied the effects of electrical failures of all kinds, I like to try to do a "forensic" analysis of cause and effect. I had mentioned in a post here a long time ago that I would be interested in starting a business to help determine the causes of electrical failures and devise ways to prevent them. I still wonder if such a business exists....or what the potential market would be.
Just as many of the violation pics posted here and on other sites provide insight as to what to watch out for, I think seeing the effects of electrical faults will help everyone learn how to avoid them.
