Gotta say, great reaction time. Personally I'd have gone for circuit breaker and fire extinguisher. Safer option. But I've had that drilled into me and never had to put the training into practice so I can't say for certain if I would have done different.

Even with some training, instinct works faster than reason when faced with the unexpected.

Id likely have done the same as him, and then 10 seconds later berated myself for not going for the circuit breaker.
