A customer was photographing frogs in a rain forest.  He uses (2) 4Ts, wiith
T power units and T-28s.  He powers the T power units with a Quantum battery
pack and 1 "Y" cord.   While shooting with 1 body, he  sat the orther one
down on the moist ground.
As he gripped the other body he started to get a bad electrical shock
(possibly 300V).  Then both 4Ts went into cardiac arrest.
I have yet to see the bodies but it sounds like the Quantum battery pack was
ground through the 4Ts and the user.
