145 Ga. App. 44 | Ga. Ct. App. | 1978
Worthington, a senior in high school, having decided that he would prefer to drink beer and smoke marijuana than attend classes, climbed some 45 feet into the air on Georgia Power Company’s transmission tower, received an electrical shock from the high-tension wires and fell to the ground. Finding his path to a money judgment blocked not only by general principles of negligence law but also by their specific application in Crosby v. Savannah Elec. &c. Co., 114 Ga. App. 193 (150 SE2d 563) (1966), Worthington contends that the attractive nuisance or "turntable” doctrine should be extended to electric line towers. The issue has been decided adversely
Judgment reversed.
