Not bike related, but I use to work on/around oil rigs here in S. Texas. One winter we actually had snow, and I was called out about midnite to start a job. Got to rig and started connecting up my equipment. Well, rig wasn't grounded properly since ground was so wet. As I started to wire up 220v to their breaker box, wiring decided to ground through me. I found myself jumping a couple of feet in the air, waving my arms frantically up and down, while I was holding 220v. I realized what was happening, must have been several seconds or more, so I concentrated on throwing wires out of my hand. Thank God, I was able to release wiring, stagged around and sat down. My heart must have been about to bust out, but I survived, but had chest pains for several weeks!
