Twenty-seven acute high-tension electrical injuries were seen in seven years at the Shriners Burns Institute. All were in boys 7 to 16 years old; 13 suffered amputation(s) and 2 died. Most accidents occurred when boys climbed utility poles (9), trespassed, generally around transformer substations (9), or contacted power lines when tree climbing (5). All occurred in daylight, generally between 4 and 6 PM, on weekends in warm weather with boys in groups. Preventive education directed to this high-risk population should illustrate properties of high-voltage electricity, effects on the body, and how to cope with peer pressures in unstructured time.
在施莱宁烧伤研究所的七年时间里，共收治了27例急性高压电损伤患者。所有患者均为7至16岁的男孩；其中13例接受了截肢手术，2例死亡。大多数事故发生在男孩攀爬电线杆时（9例）、擅自进入（通常是在变电站附近）（9例）或爬树时接触电线（5例）。所有事故均发生在白天，一般在下午4点至6点之间，天气温暖的周末，且男孩们都是成群结队的。针对这一高危人群的预防教育应阐明高压电的特性、对身体的影响以及在无组织的时间里如何应对同伴压力。
