Vacuums are static electicity generators on a dry day.
I work as a control electician, and I never worry about it when I work. I have yet to burn a board with static electricity. Im not saying it couldnt happen, but your right its rare. Of course wearing a sweater or working on a rug would also greatly increase your odds of an accident.
