No kidding! I wonder how many fires got started in frontal collisions where the fender got bent into touching the positive terminal.

Lead/acid batteries have a nasty little emission called hydrogen gas too! Doesn't mix well with sparks! |

As a lead mechanic at TWA metal shop I used to give the guys hell when I saw them wearing gloves on a drill press or a belt sander any mechanical machine that could grab and tear

I'm paranoid about this because I grounded a positive terminal once when I was a kid. It partly melted my wrench and part of my car. Woo!. But, I will never forget it.

That is why silicone rings are getting more popular these days. Consider yourself lucky that you just burned your finger. If you want to see worst case scenario google wedding ring de-glove, . I would suggest you do not google it but hey you have been warned. At my work we see 3-4 of these a year, it usually happens from guys on ladders getting hung up on something.

Ouch!
I was installing a gable fan in the attic 25ish years ago and decided to tie into a pull cord light fixture. Rather than leave the attic, go down stairs to the breaker and kill the power, I decided I could get this done without all that bother. Just a bit later my wedding ring got involved too.....but just a little zap. I pulled the ring off and headed downstairs and popped the breaker. I won't do that again.
