So basically, your only protection is the Off switch!

This demonstrator guy is a dumbass. One tiny conduction path, like a line of perspiration or carbon dust or anything on that glove and he's dead.

I have used this video several times to teach engineers and electricians why we inspect the gloves before EVERY use. Glove inflators (or the roll test) is used to identify the tiny pinprick he used to fail the glove.
