[RE-wrenches] deadly fall off of roof

[Nick Soleil]

The Solar City installer was first shocked with 400 VDC, and then fell to his 
death.  My friends at that company have complained about the inexperienced 
designers there and the lack of quality controls.  They said that they only hire 
designers from right out of college.

 Wrenches:
 
When you have 7 minutes, check out this video on 'fall restraint'  -
you may get dizzy (as I did) and
you may wonder, as I did, 
HTF they built it in the first place:

The two instances are not the same. The skylight accident happened    previous 
to April 2010, and the company is listed in the accident report     , but I 
don't recall the name. They are a large CA electrical    contractor.
