All my wires and connections are sadly still in a heap under my stand. unfortunately, there is a sump under there too, so I have had a few overflows, all of which resulted in electrical smoke pouring out of my stand. I found that while the titanium heaters are indestructable, the thermostat gizmo at the plug end will get fried with only a few drops of water. I've gotten zapped a few times while frantically trying to unplug and move things out of the wetness. I need to re-organize all my wiring and get it all mounted on the side wall of my stand. But it's a daunting job because of the tangle under there now, and it means moving my sump out of there, unplugging everything, and basically just not a fun time whatsoever. I'll do it one day though. Thankfully I haven't been shocked bad yet, no getting thrown across the room or anything.
A word of advice whenever you are working on something that has the potential to shock you is to only use one hand to work on it, and keep the other arm at your side, or away from anything that could ground you and complete the circuit. People die from electricity when the current flows through their heart. If you are working on something with both hands, and it shocks you, the current goes through one arm, then your chest (and heart), and back out the other arm. Working with only one hand means that MOST LIKELY the electricity will ground itself without passing through your heart, just other, less lethal, areas of your body.
