If you got a really good full jolt of ignition current I dout you would 
refer to it as "quite mild" (this irrespective of jumper cables as it is 
the coil that delivers the high-voltage thrills).

You make a pretty attractive ground so I wouldn't be too concerned that 
you felt something under those circumstances.
