You're probably thinking of the hazards of an arc blast, which a 15 amp circuit won't create much of. Compared to incoming power from the street.

Years ago.... Closing a can on 20' ext ladder, and pushed through the tape on a kearny. Went off like a grenade! Knock me off the ladder, very luckily un-hurt. Had to fix the damage the next day, I shook so hard it took a few hours to get the nerve to climb the ladder. I wonder what the AIC rating of a can cover is?
