A drunk man found himself dangling nine metres above the ground from
high-tension cables after climbing up a utility pole in China.
The man moved along the cables for 15 minutes – unaware of the danger – while one firefighter climbed up the pole to persuade him to get down.
The power supply to the area had been cut off to prevent him from being electrocuted.
The man continued to the middle of two poles on the cables, then loosened his hands and legs before dropping onto another layer of cables.
As shocked onlookers watched from below, he eventually fell onto a
net set up by firefighters. He later told a reporter that he drank a lot
in a bad mood.
Medical staff said the man sustained no injuries except the excessive alcohol in his body.
The incident happened in downtown Linfen, in north China’s Shanxi Province.
