[AMPS] Hand in the pocket?

[Carl Clawson]

We've again recently heard the old rule about keeping one hand in a pocket
when working on electronics.

I've heard it so many times over so many years that I'm beginning to wonder
if it's even true.

Is there any evidence that one's overall safety is improved by keeping a
hand in a pocket?

Who came up with this rule? When? Why?
