Hi,

While requesting info for the Tesla coil death list:

http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/Misc/Deaths.txt

I got two folks wondering about people killed with "just" Neon Sign 
Transformers...  They did not make "this" list since they were not 
doing Tesla coils.  One was a high school kid doing Jacob's ladders...

Be very assured that a LOT of people have been killed by 
NSTs!!!  Don't go getting careless out there!!!

BTW - A large number of people have been killed by car ignition 
circuits (conventional and HEI) too!!!  All it takes is a "bad" day...

Cheers,

        Terry
