Lightbulb HDD W/out cover

I have here with me my old WD 2.5in laptop 40GB drive... it died on me, wont read data... but it still spins. I took the cover off, for fun, and its sooo cool, but my question is- is it safe for me to plug it back in with my USB adapter and watch it? i dont want 5400RPM of HDD platter to kill me, so any help is appreciated.
