At what point is disconnecting battery negative really not that important?

If using a screw to bolt something down or just screw driver slipping and hitting existing wires. Im an electrician by trade I have seen a million different accidents that have occured from accidental stupidity I call it. Drilling through something without checking the other side is a common one. I drive a car that the electrical system is sensitive and shop labor is expensive so I take precautions as much as I can. Ever see a tech take an airbag to the head while working on a dash I have not only does it **** for the poor bastard that got hit but its an expensive screw up. And for all that ay they never have screwed up you either dont do anything or just havent been doing it long enough.

Yup I hear you.. can you repeat what you meant on that last sentence? I didn't really understand that

I have been in electrical field 13 years car audio on/off for 16. The guys that usually say I never screw up or I've never done that generally are the guys that dont do a **** thing or are new and havent experienced a good screw up yet. Its kind of like saying theres 2 types of Motorcyclist those that have laid 1 down and those that havnt laid it down.... YET. In electrical work no matter what you will have times where stuff happens that you dont think you are gnna do.
