Absolutely. If it's drawing from that little kick button straight through to the floor it may be pulling all the amps it can pull just to get the lights burning. Same with any decent sized wire touching the body. If it was a small wire shorting it may just burn through instead of drawing a heavy load.

Some people are like slinkys. Not worth much but funny as heck when pushed down stairs.
