Gotta side with the amateurs on this one. I am by no means a tech. I
have made mistakes while repairing things. You fix the mistake and
move on. If you wanted a safe hobby, you would have taken up golf.
Nothing safer than little white projectiles flying all over a field
with drunk guys yelling fore. I think anyone whos been in this hobby
for more than a year has probably had a decent shock before. Lord
knows I have. But it doesn't affect me any. But it doesn't affect
me any. The trick is to know when I a project is above your head and
send it off if you cant handle it. If you don't think the hobby is
dangerous, I know of someone who was moving a large game and if fell
striking him on the head. He later developed neurological problems
that was diagnosed as Lou Gerhigs disease. That is if I overheard
everything correctly. Just about everything about these games can
cause death. Whether its electrocution, fire, or being crushed by an
HS-5 dynamo. But we do it cause we love it. And we try to better our
skills by gradually taking on smaller projects until we are ready for
larger ones. If you get right down to it, no tech was born a tech.
They learned it somewhere whether its MIT, ITT or the TSHK(the school
of hard knocks.) Just my 2cents.
