Wrong even unplugged you are not sure against lightening...At that 
voltage electricity goes in the air :-)

So if your sun box (or anything else done with metal) is near the plug 
(or anything where the electricity is running) it will go through the 
air. Even you....have you gold stuff on your arm, or you neck? Well it 
could happen (it happened in the past)
