I was upgrading to 200A service at my old house, my buddy works for the local power company. He says no problem he get a new meter box and will switch it all over for me.

He said it was no problem to do it hot.
While connecting the lines at the weatherhead one hit the aluminum siding and aluminum ladder. Needless to say it knocked him on his @$$. Thank God he wasn't seriously hurt. Still finished to job live. But, left the meter out while connecting it to my new panel in the house.

10 years later we all laugh about this, but at the time I think he believed his was invinceable. And yes he is a journeyman electrician. Kinda scary, huh.
