Have seen it happen twice both were sales staff in a dealership. (from memory) All it does is end up blowing about 3 fuses, main fuse and a couple of others. All are under the bonnet and easy to find. Once the fuses are replaced you may need to clear some fault codes which any Mazda dealer can do for you..
cars have a ground, switching will not do anything nor run anything, but jump a battery the wrong way you have fireworks
It could have blown fuses, melted wiring, and ruined computers or other electronic items.
