I have often wondered about this.  Many people on this list have asserted
that tesla coiling is relatively safe because there have been so few
electrocutions.  In reality, I doubt if anybody knows how many deaths there
have been.  If I was to electrocute myself, nobody here would ever know.
The list moderator would eventually get a message indicating my mail id no
longer existed.

i was watching my best friends coil, which can throw out 3' sparks, when the

main cap started smoking. he went up to the cap, and must of touched it or 
something because he was thrown back onto the TOROID which electrocuted him 
so bad i swear he was glowing. anyway i called 911 and the ambulance took
him 
to hospital where after a few weeks he made a full recovery. but that still 
didnt stop me from messin' around with my 20 FOOT, oh, did i say foot? i 
meant INCH, coil.
