12 ft hotstick flashover working 345kv line on 4 corners cholla line. while doing routine maint. driving keyless pins in on hot yoke and replacing cotter key i placed hotstick on phase and relayed the breaker with arc over upper half of my body and left arm. Im still recovering and haven't seen test results on the hotstick. Thank the lord I'll be around to find out what happened. The arc came 9ft down the stick to my hand. You might imagine the rest.
