Jim, it's not just the 'instant danger' of getting poked, that I worry about. It's the not so obvious mistakes made like compromising grounds, loose connections/too tight connections, and the like. I was a Die Maker by trade, but I also took numerous electricity classes (for 3 years) and worked with two master electricians. I look at it as being the same when working with anything hazardous: if you know what you are doing, especially in the safety department, no problem. If you don't, leave it for someone who does. Unless you're a Buddhist, you only get one go around at life!
