1. A life was saved by a knife switch. This happened many years ago. There was a train on the fourth floor of a workshop in my factory, and I was responsible for the power distribution there. I installed a knife switch in a visible spot on the workshop floor. During equipment installation, a fitter who wasn't aware that the sliding line was live touched it and got an electric shock. He became paralyzed and couldn't let go, hanging in mid-air. Another worker nearby noticed the knife switch being pulled, cutting off the power. As soon as the electricity was turned off, the shocked hand released, and he fell down from the platform. He landed near the stairs, falling about half a floor. It seems like he hadn’t been exposed to electricity for a long time, and his landing posture was good enough that he suffered no injuries. This was the second train in our factory. The first one had power distribution in a control cabinet, and very few people in the workshop knew how to cut off the power. If the same accident had happened on the first train, the consequences could have been unimaginable. I often think that if we don’t take safety seriously, electrical engineers are always at risk of legal trouble. 2. Electric Shock Beauty: I once had a female electrician working in the distribution room, connecting a temporary power line. She accidentally caused a short circuit, which resulted in a large arc from the high current. The arc burned her face and hands. After treatment at a military-affiliated hospital’s burn unit, she recovered well. Her face looked completely different, as if she had a new skin. Her original face was gone, and she ended up looking more beautiful than before. Ladies, would you be willing to try this "beauty method"?
