 To the best of my knowledge, two amateur radio operators have been killed while attempting to install parasitic suppressor retrofit kits in amplifiers that were plugged into the electric-mains.    

In the instructions, under Safety precautions, I state:

" Amplifiers that are plugged into the electric-mains contain lethal voltages, whether they are switched on or switched off!  If you don't pull the electric-mains plug before working on your amplifier, your amplifier may be for sale at a Œsilent keyı estate sale!!"
