That buggered their wrist on the 7AH batteries with the watch on?

:'(

We have that picture hanging up on our bulletin board now in another country, and I recognized it right away from here.

if i am correct it was work mate of one service engineer from north..

no one from here.

One of bellmans lads IIRC.

you mean this one

Prize goes to richl,

It was one of the service engineers from my branch (who's also a member of the forum).

He got a bit of stick from the other lads over it but it was quite a nasty burn he suffered.

The current welded the strap shut so he couldn't get the red hot strap off his wrist

just didn't want to be the one mentioning any names..

Of course, we all known it wasnt a battery at all but a chinese burn off bellman after the lad came back from the lunch van with no brown sauce on bellmans sarny.

I accidently shorted a 12V 12AH sealed lead acid battery accidently with some wire that was rated to 6A max could not have been more than 50cm long, I got melted black insulation on my hands in less than a second, before smoke and the cable melted into two and stopped the current.

For the next day even when I tried to sleep, my hand was in a jug full of ice cubes and I thought I was the bionic man with a plastic wire injection

What is your trade?

Have you thought about taking an office job where your main tool is a pen and some paper.

You might want to buy some gardening gloves to protect you from paper cuts.

Was that an impromtu hotwire test for a high sensitivity aspirating system ??
