Havent been hit by a secondary streamer but was hit pretty hard by the 
secondary's ground tab when I was carrying it back to the shop after 
running it on a dry cold night...

I was carrying the secondary with both hands in front of me and the 
ground tab touched my leg about mid thigh and zapped me hard enuf to 
numb my leg for several minutes...  were talking unusable type of 
numb....  but this is starting to veer off into the topic of secondaries 
keeping the static charge which has been discussed pleanty of times :) ....
