You notice the silicone insulation on those wires?  That's because
they're carrying maybe 700 to 1,000 volts at currents that could be
instantly lethal if they took the wrong path through your
body.  Personally I'm amazed that they sell 'em in the FLAPS without
big Day-Glo warnings plastered all over them.  Just FYI.
