What I have seen happen is people working on vehicles with the positive lead
still connected, and the car is then grounded from something that's
uninsulated, primarily electric tools that are earthed. This continues to
provide some sort of path for equipment that still carries a charge, namely
starter motors. Boy do the mechanics get a rude shock! From one, as a
result, the ECU was actually fried. Don't ask me how or why, I know it
really shouldn't have happened, but it did.
Theory is one thing, practice is another. Experience has shown me that 3#-)

What have you seen happen? What are these serious consequences?
