I heard that he slipped or stumbled onto the rail

If he was he would not have been electrocuted, no
matter how harsh it sounds. There are Railway Safety Standards for
personell who work alongside Third Rail Electrifaction, and if these
are stuck to rigidly to the letter, then no one would get hurt!



Doe they prevent people from slipping or stumbling?
