Family of window cleaner hit by 33K volts call for change in law

A window cleaner severely injured when he was struck by 33,000-volts is now able to “shuffle” around the house – as his family call for a change in the law. Dad-of-three Jason Knight, 35, suffered a near-death incident and lost his left forearm and several toes. Electricity jumped about 2 meters (6.6ft) from a power cable to his cleaning pole. Jason, of Westbury, Wiltshire, was on the final window of a regular customer’s house when he was electrocuted on April 6. His loved ones are now demanding for a change of law to stop this from happening to someone else.
