I have also read about people being seriously burned when the nicad
batteries they were carrying in their pocket shorted out on their keys,
burning a hole in their pants and in one case leaving an imprint on the
thigh of the victim.

There was story in Model Aviation a few years ago about just that
happening to an RC model flier. He put his NiCd glow-starter in the same
pocket as his keys without capping it. Unfortunately his pocket also
held half a dozen .45 cartridges from the morning's target practice....
