Jeff Mabrey is incapacitated here today, but he is by no means bemoaning his fate.
Mabrey considers himself lucky to be alive. At work for a power company here yesterday, he accidently touched a high tension wire carrying 6,900 volts of electricity, about three times the amount of "juice" that is ordinarily used in electrocutions.
The only injury to the man was a very small hole which was burned to the bone just below the knee. Mabrey was able to descend from the pole, on which he had been working, and drive to the office of a doctor.
