[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic, nothing like a crash to keep us humble

[Bob Richards]

Don't laugh too hard!  I was flying once and got a static discharge through the lines, handle, and into my hand. I was nowhere near power lines.  The atmospheric conditions were just right for building up static on the lines until it reached enough potentional to jump from the wire to my hand. Scared the heck out of me!! Luckily I did not let go, which was a good thing since I did not have a safety thong attached.

and said "I got a hit". All of us watching cracked up.
