Based on a sample of one, that is extremely unlikely.

The shroud on the plug fits very tightly in the case,
and there is additional friction from the banana plug.

Hate to think of someone's life or eyesight depending on it.


Even if you snagged the meter, you will probably pull the probes
out ot the CUT before the plugs come out of the meter.

** It is important to believe in " Murphy's Law" when discussing safety.

It can happen, so sooner or later - it will.
