I see two counters to your story. 1: I don’t think the cutters would still be anywhere near the house if the person operating them had taken that kind of a zap. 2: If they were, because the person’s muscles clamped down instead of throwing him yards across the lawn, I don’t think the brass near the top would be so brassy.
But it makes a good image, anyway.
I wonder whether the bolt cutter in the pic ISN’T the tool involved in the, uhhhh, “experience”; as if someone put it there as a prop for a “lessons learned” photo.
Also, I’m led to wonder about the insulating properties of the grips on that tool. They might provide a pretty substantial amount of protection; enough that the worker escaped a serious jolt.
For sure it wasn’t the work of a Jawa, the blast point is too accurate. No, that was an Imperial Storm Trooper. Bet.
