Gloss was on top OF n pole doing
some repair work at tho time Of the

attached 10 the pole, causing him to
become grounded" and the entire
1900 volts carried by the power wire
passed through his body. causing him
to become unconscious. He had on a

slid TO the ground, instead of falling
violently. other electric workers in
