When I was doing "Work Experience" 20 years ago at school I went to the local Agricultural engineer ( part of it burned down on thursday incidentaly )

I was asked to tidy up part of the workshop, this included a very very large ARC welders leads ( this thing was about 2mx3mx2m ). And some fool had left it on.. When I toucged the torch to the earth whilst coiling the leads I nearly had a heart attack!! I could see starts for the rest of the day.
