This same thing happened when I was a kid. (about 12) Was helping my dad building a parking lot on a saturday. When we hear this "BOOM" look up and the guy shot up about 50 feet in the air above the power lines before falling back down to earth. We walked over to him, and all I really remember is his skin being charred black, and rippled in one direction like ocean waves. And you couldnt even imagine the smell, it was the most awful thing ever.
