Feet got wet when my 220g blew and ran through the kitchen to grab buckets and towels from the sunroom. Never made it cause as soon as very wet feet running at full speed touch tile in the kitchen, the lack of friction caused me to fly through the air and hit the back door with my butt around doorknob height. My feet touched around the ceiling. Then gravity came into play and I came down with a BANG on the same hard tile floor, knocking my right arm out of commission. Always good to be one-armed when dealing with a 300 gallon gusher in the livingroom.

As for the electrical shocks, I actually kinda like that buzzing, tingling feeling. Yesterday as I was setting up my new frag system in the sump, I noticed the water in the sump was electrified. Pulled each pull out one at a time (about 18 altogether) and of course it was the last one. Pull one - stick finger into sump - feel the buzz - dry hand and pull next plug. Finally solved it and now its all good.

The very worse pain I've ever felt in my life (not just fish related) was when my 12-14" Volitan lionfish swam under my hand while I was cleaning the glass with a scrubber pad. I used to hand feed it so it thought I was giving it a smelt or piece of squid. I had shooed it away with the net but then a fish jumped in another tank and when I looked over to see if the fish was carpet surfing or the glass lid was broken, the Volitan swam under and I got TWO poison-filled dorsal spines into my middle finger on my right hand. Eventually hurt enough I was screaming at my brother to cut off my arm before the poison hit my internal organs as the pain travelled up my arm. Fortunately he ran away yelling and I still have both arms today So, yeah, the pain was so great that if I had to interrogate a terrorist, I would threaten him with a big lionfish
