While we were yapping a work today Roper related a story of a time when he was just a baby in the Navy, that means E-4 and below. He was in the aux space with an electrician monkeying with a switch box. So baby Roper went to point at something in box and his arm came within inches of a live 440 VAC wire. If he had actually touch the wire he could just chalk that up to being a dumb kid, but the electric charge arc over the inches between him and the wire causing all his muscles to clinch at the same time. It taught him to have a fond respect for electrical wires. Something that the Navy tries to instill in us at an early age. So we know by theory and try to maintain a healthy distance from live circuits, but it normally takes something like 440 volts to arc over a open air to make us truly understand
