RE: This Could Be Dangerous.........

Shorting to the case made the current flow large enough to blow the fuse. With or w/o that ground it takes a large enough flow to blow a fuse. Why would a human be a ground standing on a wood floor? When I was a kid we had an old two prong electric drill that shorted to the case. If you stood on the cement floor and used it you'd get a shock. So we stood on a 2X6 instead and used the drill fine and never got a shock.
