WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Matt Manzari, now 31, was trimming trees at his church when a powerline sent a surge of electricity through the remote controlled bucket truck he was in
The father-of-two was standing in a steel bucket that sent 14,000 volts of electricity through his body, melting 25 per cent of his skin in the process
Electric chairs use between 2,000 and 2,200 volts - meaning that Matt s body was subjected to the equivalent of six or seven of them
His ribs were left exposed, and the electricity actually burned his chest muscles
The accident left Matt in a coma, and doctors warned his family that he would likely not wake up - noting that if he did, he would probably have brain damage
