A TikTok video shared by @solidelectricalcompany has gone viral after capturing a shocking accident involving a Nigerian solar installer’s apprentice who crashed through a client’s roof and landed inside a toilet.
The incident occurred when the apprentice mistakenly stepped on the wrong section of an asbestos roof while working. Instead of placing his weight on the wooden beams designed to support movement, he stepped on the middle of a fragile roofing sheet, which immediately gave way under his weight.
Fortunately, no one was seriously injured in the fall. The apprentice reportedly accepted responsibility for the mishap and purchased a new roofing sheet to repair the damage caused.
The video has since drawn reactions from professionals in the solar installation industry. Experts noted that such accidents are common when installers lack proper training and safety awareness.
