That's why you should always be wearing your grounded wrist strap. :-)


After a while I just got used to being the ground.

The worst shock I ever received was from a high power, high voltage DC
power supply. 12,000 volts with current capacity of 1.5 amps. Happened
at the first job I had after leaving the Navy. I remember my hands
feeling like basketballs, then I went out like a light. Woke up in the
ambulance on the way to the hospital.

They checked me out, EKG, all that stuff, then determined I was fine other
than some minor burns on my fingers.

OUCH.....

Now a Marine would never pull a stunt like that. :-)
