Without the proper precautions put in place, it can cause explosions during the refuelling of planes.

not that i know of but that dont mean there aint

Besides the chemical danger it can cause sensitive electronic devices to become damaged. Great lengths are taken at circuit board plants to be sure static is controlled. I remember air controlled rooms, special hand wash at the doors, anti-static straps worn on shoes and wrists. But too; did you know that static has been used in an intentional way? Before digital copy machines, the old ones used a static field on a selenium drum to attract the ink before the paper sheet passed to collect it.

Absolutely! Lightning causes very serious effects! If you don't believe me take a look at this! http://mentalfloss.com/article/20425/7-disasters-caused-lightning

Yes, static electricity can have serious effects in certain situations, especially when it is not properly controlled or dissipated. While static electricity is generally harmless in everyday life, its sudden discharge can lead to significant hazards in specific environments. One of the most serious effects is the potential for fires and explosions. Static electricity can ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust, creating a critical risk in industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and grain handling.

es, static electricity can have serious effects, especially when it accumulates in environments or situations where it is not controlled. While static discharges are often harmless in everyday life, they can lead to significant hazards under certain circumstances. One of the most serious effects is the risk of fire and explosion. Static electricity can ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust. This is particularly dangerous in environments such as chemical plants, oil refineries, grain silos, or fuel transfer areas, where the presence of volatile substances makes a spark from static electricity capable of causing fires or explosions. Another serious effect is the damage it can cause to sensitive electronic components. Static electricity can discharge through semiconductors or integrated circuits, damaging or destroying delicate parts inside computers, smartphones, and other electronic devices. Even a small static shock can render these components inoperative or reduce their lifespan, leading to significant financial loss or equipment failure.
