I worked for a printshop back in the 80s that ran a whiteprint machine that had a helluva capacitor inside the chassis. We called in a repair guy to do some work on it and he accidentally touched a screwdriver to the capacitor - threw the dude about twenty feet from the machine across the floor. He survived, but we had to do CPR and call the ambulance. Fucked him up pretty bad.
