If you're touching the car body while attaching the positive lead, you've
got such a high resistance that you're not shorting anything. Put your hands
across a car battery's terminals and you'll see for yourself.

Therefore if you happen to touch the car body while attaching the positive
lead after the you'll actually be shorting the two power connections (i'm
not sure exactly what the consequences are), whereas on a power point if you
short the active to earth, you just send the current to the ground.
