I think it is possible to happen but we are still looking for the first confirmed report of a lineman being killed by a home generator. Lawyers for a utility company is interested in finding a "cause" not related to the company's policies or the failure to follow them. We know home generators can not kill linemen following policies in print and taught in lineman training classes.
Sure, and if nobody ever pointed a gun at themselves and pulled the trigger, accidental shootings wouldn't happen either. But they do, and that's why there are multiple layers of gun safety protocol: people don't always follow safety procedures 100%. It doesn't mean they deserve to die.
Here's a link to what appears to be a different incident than the previous one. The report indicates that authorities are trying to identify and arrest the homeowner. Seems like at least somebody is convinced that backfeeding was the cause.
