In the Navy, I was working on a Radar console, after turning it off AND TAGGING IT! Some brainchild decided to turn on the power, and my screwdriver hit 23000V- DC. Even with the low amperage, it kicked me across the room, slamming into another bank of equipment. I'll never forget the ringing in my brain (forget ears!!!) and weirdness in my body.

23KV!!!!! Holy defecation!!!! I spent 20 years as an ET (that’s electronics tech for you landlubbers) and never hit that!!! Worst I ever got was 325 VDC from a radio. Was aligning it, and supposed to be using a plastic tool. I had been up all night and was exhausted. Picked up a metal screwdriver (tweeker) and stuck it in there. Burned thumb and index finger where I was holding the tweeker, and the side of my hand that was on the chassis of the radio.
