I bet this shocking incident was the buzz of the town. This sort of thing really charges me up. Should have been more careful but watt can you do.
 
Edited to remove video, already up in OP

Here is the Back story, Paraguay:




[td]
A worker, aged 49 and residing in Fernando de la Mora (Central), is in critical condition after falling from a ladder while working on fiber-optic cable installation in the city of Pilar. The accident occurred on Sunday at the intersection of Gaspar Rodríguez de Francia Avenue and Carlos Miguel Giménez in the Paso neighbourhood.

According to police reports, the worker leaned his ladder against a utility pole to access the cable lines and may have experienced an electric shock, which caused him to fall from height and sustain serious head injuries. He was initially taken to the Pilar Regional Hospital before being transferred to the Trauma Hospital in Asunción, where he remains in a critical state.


The prosecutor, Federico Solano, visited the scene and seized the ladder, safety equipment and other materials to clarify the circumstances of the incident.
