What are potential health risks associated with static electricity?

As long as the electricity is static, it is of little concern. Of course, static today, current tomorrow. If you are in contact with a large static charge and also with the Earth, the energy can flow through you, and there might be enough to stop your heart. I heard of a man who picked up two cables to connect them and was cooked. The person in charge said it was static electricity, since the power was then not on. Of course, it is my point that static electricity is merely charge, and the charge (most usually) has to move to hurt you. Moving charges are called electric current.
