Fair enough said.
Rarely,but sometimes anywayz,even on relatively low
powered coils (100-200 W) the waveform of attached arc
discharge from the top of the resonator ,may suddently
turn completely into DC form.
(I saw such arc scoping).Reciving that one  throu the 
body (standing isolated or not) gives a heck of shock.
Whole situation in this case reminds me  of getting
zzaped by natural thunder (on small scale of course).
Now,imagine when the average input power of system
increases and same things happen...
So,*the only* smart guy doing attached arc stunt (or
any live load stunt with TC) is the one walking in
Faradey cage sort of suit.Can't remember his name.
So much from me about this subject.

Boris
