Why arnt you being electrocuted? Thats actually a serious question, Ive gotten between the arch and the ground and was not having the good time you appear to be.

You just gotta be tough, my friend!

No, in all seriousness the bike is grounded by the stinger clamped to the downtube. That makes a much better ground than I do, so a person can safely handle the frame while welding. I have been shocked numerous times while welding, but its usually due to accidentally grounding the filler rod to the tip of the electrode. As long as a person avoids that, one should be fine welding this way.
