Unless you have a heart condition or grab a the HV line with the set running there is little danger... I've been bit by 25kv before... It's like a mean jolt of static electricity, you'll cuss and your heart may race for a bit but you'll be fine in minutes.

I've lost count of the HV bites I've gotten... what you really want to be careful of is high current sources like the wall outlet and B+ in valve/tube based sets. Flyback based sets are only designed to produce around 1mA of HV for current hungry color sets. Tube sets produce hundreds of mA for B+.
