Man I remember accidentally shooting an arc from the TIG torch to my hand holding the filler rod. It felt like I got hit in the funny bone with a ball peen hammer for like 3 days. Not fun!
Man, that's a funny post! I retired after working almost 37 years in industrial sheet metal. In that time I've been Zapped by Arc, Carbon arc, Mig, and Tig. more than a few times. Was not fun for me, but was funny for the people around me at the time it would happen!
Your story is still one of the best I've heard!

really? is it just because i was touching the fender? i knew there was ALOT of power in a welder but i didnt realize it was that easy to fry yourself. i figured it was caused mostly because i was laying on cold damp concrete...i better be more careful with that thing 
im gonna start mig welding a door soon, any percautions i should take? rubber dive suit? lol

Not trying to be a wise-*ss, but did you read the instructions? My Lincoln MIG booklet was loaded with warnings and don't-do's. You gotta remember that electricity is lazy and will take the easiest path to ground. If that's you, then,....:!: Check this site out-http://acidcow.com/pics/3989-30_ways_to_die_of_electrocution_30_pics.html
Just make sure that YOU arent grounding the base metal. If your holding it and even touching it you can get shocked. Also do not let a wall or beam ground it. For a door I just got 2 saw horses and laid it on there then hit it with a mig. Thats probly the easiest and safest way I can think of.
i just bought this from a church yardsale so it didnt come with anything other than a good feeling i was doing something to help them out. as far as my welding experience goes, i did it in high school and remember being really good at it and my teacher being pretty impressed with what i pulled off, also i LOVE plaing with metal so i decided to try it out and see what happened
