Yup

Got bit by one of those myself once!

As a lesson to my son when he was maybe 12, I hooked up jumper cables to a car battery and contacted the other ends with each other. He was impressed with the sparks show, and also understood!!

The one that got me the worst was actually unhooking a starter. I was dumb and didn’t disconnect the battery. Laying underneath one of my dad’s tractors, I unbolted the cover to the starter motor housing and got a nasty shock. Jumped right out from under there and promptly unhooked the battery before continuing.
