It happened to me but not because I forgot to discharge. I had an open chasis on a work bench as I was checking some voltages from the high voltage transformer when I was jostled by a co-worker.

45,000 volts running through you is not a pleasent feeling. Nor is the brusing from the act of being ....not thrown.... but more like shot into the wall at the back of the shop!
