If people would do this in IT as well the world would be a safer place... unfortunately, people can imagine a house burning down in a fire much better than they can imagine the fallout of an IT security issue.
So much of learning is trult internalizing the information. Specifically, I thought I understood that low voltage poses little risk of electrocution but it never clicked until now that low voltage + high current can ignite things. I've been very careful to fuse everything as you suggest, but my bus bars are exposed. A 12v 100amp short would be nasty.

I'm of 2 minds here. The engineer in me wants everything as robust as possible, but that comes with trade offs, right? Do I want my cancer radiation treatments or flight software to go through rigorous checks? Absolutely. Does my web store need the same kind of rigour? Probably not.
The fact that these three dudes are still alive and, to general knowledge, as of yet still perfectly healthy is ... mind-boggling. What the fuck did I just watch.
I was impressed by the wiring. Maybe it's because the failed takes are not shown, or because he calculated it out, but only the object under "test" gets damaged without the wiring being obviously affected other than moving around due to EM forces.

Wrap as much of them in heatshrink tube as you can, that should be the easiest.

Hmmyeah, but getting your web store breached can still have serious financial implications.
