missing insulation. If they do, you could get a shock.
The vehicles could be damaged too.

positive (+) and negative (
-) will go to a jump
starting stud. Don’t connect positive (+) to
negative (
-) or you’ll get a short that would
damage the battery and maybe other parts, too.
CAUTION:
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engine is running.

positive (+) cable to
the positive (+) terminal
of the vehicle with the
dead battery.
8. Don’t let the other
end touch metal.
Connect it to the
positive (+) terminal
of the good battery.
