Title: Topic suggestion: electrocution or: near misses. Safety education
Post by: Ross on May 22, 2013, 03:40:30 am

To start off, I keep my free hand behind my back when poking around amp innards when the power's on. I like to think that I'm careful with the juice but there are instances I remember to keep myself humble. Like the time I grabbed a PT under test, or finding out experientially that variacs aren't isolated. Older and wiser.

That's probably a good idea. But I find that many times I need to use two hands. I occasionally wish I had three hands. :grin:
