I guess its a different perspective. You are going t drop that vaccum if you get shocked, so I would not be overly concerned.
I work everyday in electric panels. Often there are hot wires in in the panels. I would never strap my self into a ground and would never stand on a conductor but I consider holding or brushing against a ground an acceptable risk(Im talking about safety not about protceting the board right now).
BTW I wouldnt do this in a panel with 360 and I would be extra careful in a panel with 210.
