There is no way that the positive battery terminal was ever connected to the chassis. This would be a dead short and would fry the battery. Negative to chassis is correct, but positive to chassis, no way. That positive cable goes somewhere else.

Why should you take off the negative cable first on a car battery?
99.999% or vehicles ever made are negative ground. If your wrench slips while taking off the negative cable and hits the chassis it will not cause a spark. If you are removing the positive first and you slip, it will cuase a major spark.99.999% or vehicles ever made are negative ground. If your wrench slips while taking off the negative cable and hits the chassis it will not cause a spark. If you are removing the positive first and you slip, it will cuase a major spark.
Why do you need to take the leads off in the reverse order after trying to jump start a car?
You need to remove the negative (black) cable attached to whichever car's chassis, first. Now if you accidently touch the chassis with the lead, nothing will happen, it's already negative. (This should be as far away from the battery as possible. ) Then, remove the other car's negative jumper. Now, the positive sides can be taken off, safely, If you accidently touch the chassis with the leads, there will be no spark as the two chassis' are now isolated. If you took off a positive (red) first, since the other end is still connected to a positive side of a battery and the two chassis' are connected, yYou could easily touch the chassis and make a spark, and possibly igniting any hydrogen gas from the battery, blowing its top off, and spraying sulfuric acid.
