Zzzzap! Ow!
#6

I remember when I was a teenager and just started getting interested in electronics, a friend and I came across an old console, can't remember the brand, and started operating on it in his basement. I was young and was just starting to learn so didn't know what I was doing. Anyway, my friend had his left hand lying across the speaker on the bench and with the other hand grabbed the metal shaft of the volume control. When he did, he got hit with full B+ and it picked him up and threw him against the wall. Luckily he survived but it cured him from having any further interest in electronics. I however continued my interest to this day but will never forget how young ignorance of radios could have turned tragic.
