this is the fourth time. I'm 21 now. The fourth time in 4 years.
I was climbing on a shopping center roof with a friend of mine. We followed it all the way down and back (1/4 mile each way, big place) and then decided we were tired and to get down (every 50 yards or so you had to climb down about 8 feet then back up).
My friend shimmies down this metal, welded pole about 15 feet up. I lean over to check my footings and follow and BAM. My elbow touches a live electrical wire from the pole to the roof.
I felt like my heart stopped and just sat there, leaning against an AC unit, panting for a good 2 minutes.
Then I climbed down.
That is all.

and, uh, wild turkey bourbon might have been involved.
