If you remove the ht lead while its running or cranking, it will spark wherever it can.
You could stop this by moving the end of the lead close to your finger. (As long as you dont have pacemaker or weak heart)

Its actually bad for leads and coils to remove them while they are sparking. It encourages weak spots and can burn through insulation on the lead

Some could actually get damaged when doing this...
Like Jack explained, it burns though the insulation as it arcs.
