This photo shows two power linemen, Randall Champion and J. D. Thompson, at the top of a utility pole. They had been performing routine maintenance when Champion brushed one of the high voltage lines at the very top. These are the lines that can be heard “singing” with electricity. Over 4000 volts entered Champion’s body and instantly stopped his heart (an electric chair uses about 2000 volts).

1967年。这张照片上显示了两个电线维修员在电线杆的顶部，分别是兰德尔钱皮恩和JD汤普森。他们一直在执行例行维护时，兰德尔钱皮恩在最高处处理拉丝高压线路，突然这些电力线路发出“丝-丝”的声音，此时超过4000伏电压进入兰德尔钱皮恩的身体，瞬间停止了他的心脏（电动座椅采用约2000伏）

His safety harness prevented a fall, and Thompson, who had been ascending below him, quickly reached him and performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. He was unable to perform CPR given the circumstances, but continued breathing into Champion’s lungs until he felt a slight pulse, then unbuckled his harness and descended with him on his shoulder. Thompson and another worker administered CPR on the ground, and Champion was moderately revived by the time paramedics arrived, eventually making a full recovery.

他的安全带以防止他摔落到下面，而汤普森的位置在他的下方（距离并不远），汤普森很快到达了兰德尔钱皮恩的位置，并进行嘴对嘴的人工呼吸。鉴于当时的情况，他无法执行心脏复苏措施，但他仍继续对兰德尔钱皮恩进行人工呼吸，人工呼吸的空气进入到兰德尔钱皮恩的肺部，直到他感觉到轻微的脉搏，然后解下了他的安全带，把他靠在肩上。汤普森和另一名工人将兰德尔钱皮恩放在地面上，兰德尔钱皮恩此时的体温恢复到温和状态，救护人员赶到的时候兰德尔钱皮恩清醒过来，最终兰德尔钱皮恩完全康复。
