Interesting to see this particular issue crop up so much lately - Big Clive did a video on microwave inverters and how dangerous the fractal wood burning process is, and I've seen several other creators coming out and speaking about either their own accidents doing this or people they know who are no longer around to speak for themselves. It even popped up fairly locally to me a few days back in a news article: https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/129099866/woman-shocked-fro...
I guess it has the characteristics of appearing fairly safe while being absolutely the opposite, plus it's one of those activities where you do it 100 times carefully and the momentary lapse on round 101 gets you. Like using an angle grinder with one of those round chainsaw blade attachments. The failure modes are horrific. Amateur crafts-persons get lured in by the neat end product without necessarily having the background understanding of what they're risking.
