So far I have not been zapped by my Porthole TV, but I know its only a matter of time. Just the other day I did something really stupid. I have an AC line cord with aligator clips for test powering my chassis. Absent minded me the other day plugged the cord in the wall and I picked up the other ends without thinking. Instantly I came to my senses and dropped the ends and unplugged the AC end. Luckily I was not shocked - but like I said it was simply luck that I was not shocked. Its easy to get so involved and not think about safety first.
But, I have been shocked by the CRT anode back in the 1970's and my reflexes literally knocked me across the room and out of my chair. Luckily there were no long term affects, broken bones or lasting pain.
