I worked on my mother-in-law's oven without turning off the power first.

If it was a gas oven it would either have turned out alright or been a blast.

It was electric, but I was lucky enough not to get electrocuted.

   At what point during the repairs did you realize you hadn't turned the oven off?

Managed to do something similar myself. I was changing the light switches in a flat and I forgoyt to switch the mains power off. I touched one of the wires and electrocuted myself. My hand felt like it was dead for days afterwards.

I didn't turn off the power to the oven at the circuit breaker. The oven was off.  I realized that it was a bad idea not to work on it like that when my screwdriver made an electrical connection and a big spark flew.  Then I shut off the power to the oven.

If it weren't for safety trip switches, I would be dead loads of times. I used to work in a wet environment with electric powered fans.

Did something similar when replacing a spotlight at the cinema. This one was about 6 metres up so I was standing on a ladder, reaching into the thing to find the bayonet socket.

I found it.
