One further point. All "grounding" mats, wriststraps
ect. are NOT directly connected to ground. They
actually have a resistor (100Kohms I think) in series.
If you connect your body directly to ground, you will
increase your risk of death if you accidentally touch
a high voltage.

That's a cheery thought!
