Can't really for see either situations where this would happen if you follow basic boosting instructions.

You obviously have not boosted very many cars, any well used booster cables will show the tell tale signs of arcing.
Hooking up in the dark at -30 with it snowing sideways, dealing with those stupid side terminals GM came up with, a battery mounted against the fender or the headlight bucket...It's real easy to accidentally arc out, hell I've seen a cable pop off on it's own and weld itself to the fender.
Ohm's law can kiss my ass
