Well, sort of. Actually, you are only completing a circuit IF the device is
turned on. It's like a double safety. There is more chance of causing a
problem by dropping something on the positive terminal and having it sort to
a ground, cause sparks that will set fuel on fire, blow a fuse, and melt the
metal object that was dropped, than there is of dropping something on the
negative terminal and causing a problem.
Once again, this is just my 2 pence. If you don't know what you are doing,
get some help from someone who does.
