Old men and RV ladders
Ernie,
The ring on the finger is a well known safety risk. When I worked for IBM in the mainfrane equipment service field, the first thing you did was take off all jewelry. Nothing like a gold ring shorted across a 1200 amp power supply. (yes, I did say 1200 amp. The big mainframes ran on a 1.5 volt level to supply tens of thousands of little transistors). The really dumb thing was you had to wear a necktie and white shirt while working on machines with high power motors spinning all sorts of nifty things, and often covered with printing ink. When you get down to it, a standard automotive battery will melt that ring and burn your finger off just as well. Once I stuck my head too close to a circuit board and zapped my glasses, I thought they were non-conductive.
