Magnetics has nothing to do with it &"nothing ever happend" means you can't see it. It's a Electro Static Discharge, your body pick up a charge and unless you discharge first and work connected to ground you risk having a high voltage discharge through a curcit. You won't see this or any damage but some chip has a crater instead of a semiconductor. The processor or memory or BIOS or some other IC will not operate correctly giving memory problems data-corruption.
I've seen worse handling of mobos on review sites

@mongoliantree ive handled boards like that and they still work like they have always been. i just never let them make contact with the carpet.

i was only pointing that out
there was a myth about coils would create a electric charge and disrupt the mobo or card
and the odds of that happening is really rare
never happened to me

This guy never heard of ESD. This vid is an excellent example of how NOT to handle motherboards and sensitive electronics.
