Of coarse it is. Even when the car is not running, if the key is left in the on position, it will knock your D!(k in the dirt .
On a serious note, if you had been barefoot, or kneeling on the ground when you pulled the wire it could potentially have stopped your heart.
As a good rule of thumb, and very well noted in every repair text that you will use, it states that you should always disconnect the batery before preceeding with any repair work. Especially electrical work.
