Yes you're exactly right.
I had rather a nasty shock last year when I ended up closing the circuit across nearly 20,000uF still charged to somewhere around 400VDC.

No harm done, but its the kind of thing that makes you sit up & think.Many years back, on board ship, I had my head stuck in an alarm panel... Said panel was 110VDC and fuse-holders were mounted on the door. The ship rolled, door swung closed and said fuse-holders (on about 100mm centres) contacted the back of my head. That made me sit down and I'm sure I stopped thinking for a while...
I blame this for all my shortcomings since <s>
