There are many documented incidents of this happening. I run a bare metal
wire through all of the pipe and attach it to the dust collector housing

the tool housing to pick up the static discharge, This is a serious

No one has yet to post one. Please do so or stop spreading false
information.

If he's talking about an explosion hazard, nobody has documented a case. If
he's talking about an electric shock, that also can be a hazard--imagine
brushing the collector plumpbing and having your hand involuntarily jerk
into the rotating blade on your radial-arm saw for example--and enough
static buildup to cause a shock is very likely under dry conditions.
