Back to photography a bit. I can see where the battery packs of the
strobes would be extremely hazardous to you health playing with them.
But that begs the question, just how much of a whalop would a typical
battery operated flash unit provide to its user? I have never done
anything like bust a bulb or really have any reason that it would make
like ATT and reach out and touch someone. I can't really see how it
could outside of damage to a unit. But if you turned around and
crashed a flash into a metal pole, I wonder just how much of a shock
you could get???
I have an old Japanese "Twinklite" electronic flash, powered by 6 AA
batteries, that looks like a miniature Strobonar and clips on a side
bar. In addition to a PC connector it has a socket for a 3 prong plug on
the front under the head. I remember using the flash like a handle and
getting the flesh of the side of my index finger up against the head and
in unfortunate contact with the 3 pins. Once was more than enough.
