When I was at college my lecturer told us a story of a friend of his that was removing a car battery and the spanner on the pos terminal touched a gold bracelet on whis wrist which was also touching the negative terminal, apparently the spanner and bracelet partly exploded due to the high current potential of the circuit. The damage was so severe he had to have his hand amputated. People sometimes only consider the low voltage when working on a car battery, but forget under short circuit conditions the current can be huge. Last edited by Katash on 18th Jun 2011 12:58pm.
