Brent Turner, bturner-at-apc-dot-net,
accidently drew a ~5' power arc to the elbow while 
filming Die Hard Dracula a few years ago (1999?).

No permanent harm but a few bruises from the fall off a pedestal
as his muscles contracted (he was perched on a pedastal).

There was no visible sign of burn where the arc contacted the skin !
A tribute to quickness with which the kill switch was hit.
