Just don't touch the positive post on the battery and you won't be shocked. Electricity is transfered in the car from + to - so as long as there's not a common connection between them (i.e. you) there's no electricity transfered.
As for the relay, it's just a little circuit board inside. A relay can burn out and cause a short inside. The short makes the relay pull too much power causing the fuse to burn out. The fuse may have just blown because when you plug them in and the battery is connected there can be an electrical surge through the fuse causing it to blow. Btw, the relays are difficult to get out so you should rock it back and forth a little to get it to pull out slowly.
