Me? Sure, I'll test it. I'm not afraid. I've got an isolation transformer and know how to use it.

I suppose one of my more memorable "120V bench accidents" was repairing an old radio that had the neutral connected to its metal chassis. And an old worn 2 wire cord that could plug in backwards in certain outlets.
I managed to plug it in so that the neutral chassis was actually a hot (120VAC) chassis. When I went to clip my scope probe ground onto the chassis, there was a brilliant flash and bang. I was dazed but unharmed, and the scope probe was destroyed.

Live(d) and learn(ed)...
