314159 lol thats just plain lol(not that whaetver happened to you but the way you said it)

and have you ever thought of putting on a rubber coating for the tables?

[314159]

just ground all the metal tables, make shure none of the equiepment that has a 3 prong plug has the 3rd prong clipped off, and make shure any equiepment with a metal case on the table has a 3 prong plug. other than that, just make shure everything is grounded well, and just be mindfull of what is hot.

in all the electronics classes i have taken, loads of people have been shocked.

one of the guys near me had the power supply up to 450 volts. he turned it off, picked up the test leads, and hit his lab partner in the arm with him. (he was unaware that the big capacitor in the power supply was still charged at 450 volts) his lab partner fell off the chair. the guy thought his lab partner was joking till he saw imprents of the test leads burned into his lab partners arm.

it was really weird, at first it felt just like a little buzz on the tip of my finger and then it like jolted through my upper body; it must have done something to my nerves or muscles or something b/c a moment after the buzz it felt like a pile of bricks had fallen on my head/shoulders; I thought some one had dropped a tool of like a sheet of sheet rock and it had gone through the floor and hit me; I was in the basement; and its really freaking scary b/c the only thing separating me from the guys the floor above is about an inch of old rotting wood floor, and the guys above seem to be really clumsy b/c they drop a lot of tool and it scares the crap out of me

all fellow musicians who do gigs will know the old shock to the lips, when you are holding an electric guitar (or a bass in my case) and you get too close to a mic thats grounded opposite or to a different circuit.

i got 220 once making a restaurant delivery. long story short: 2 commercial refrigerators, one not grounded. im in one, a restaurant employee in the other , we bump shoulders(actually, his shoulder, my elbow). we both go flying. pinky and ring finger on left hand tingle for months.

dude in autoshop...

they had an ignition condensor, and I had no idea what it was, and some guys told me to hold it, and touch the point wiht my other hand, and KABLAMM! A surge of electricity through my arms and chess, what it did was make my arms and chest curl up really fast, like it was controlling my muscles, weird stuff.

One time... in shop class...

We were always shocking people in shop class... we'd get the "slow" people to test the spark plugs in small engines by letting them touch them while we cranked em over, and one time we were building corrals on a farmers place and he had an electric fence, but it wouldn't shock us until we grabbed a metal post in one hand and held the wire... so we all did it, and then we got in a line and the front guy held the wire and the back guy held the post and we all grabbed hold of the person in front of us...

Good times, Good times.

I always get shocked here at home too while welding, or when using our plasma cutter... nothing like 220 pulsing through your veins to get you going. :):)

well i was using a push mower that you have to short out to kill (touch a screwdriver on the spark plug and another piece of metal) well i usely do it with a screwdriver but one day i onky had a pocket knife.. bad mistake i reached down there and when i touch the spark plug with the knife and a pice of metal on the mower i got shocked like crao my whole arm shook really bad and i got a likl dizzy it didnt feal to good

A zap from a plasma cuttter certainly will ruin a few pubes
