There seems to be some confusion on this issue.
Yes, there are two different shocks being mentioned throughout this thread. The first is simply static shock which can wipe out maps. While that is possible, it really doesn't happen all that much. Maybe certain folks are more likely to deal with this situation. It has never happened to me in the 4 plus years I had my CI. I have been in circumstances where the potential of such a thing could have happened but did not.
The second kind of shock is a more serious one that where damage to the implant itself or injury or death may be involved. That is what I meant by the "grounded" bit. The implant is grounded to reduce the chances that a severe shock could damage it. This is not to say it couldn't happen but the odds are slim to none. Technically, this will be either when an accident occurs or somebody has a death wish.
