I searched several web sites and although some said they have less static electricity, they still have some. So it probably wouldn't be safe, for his use.

But you can call Best Buy.They say that there are products you can buy to eleminate the static.

So it might not be safe for his use.But you can check and see what Best Buy suggests.

If satisfied , hit accept.And feedback is greatly appreciated.
