That's a tough one but not much to do except carefully remove the old battery and hook the new one up with key in the off position.
And try not to arch the cables more than one time when putting them on.
The biggest risk is when people sloppily hook up jumper cables and then try to start the engine with still too little juice in their own battery and it is pulling too much from the donor car and voltage drops down during that process below life sustaining levels. The starter might cut in and out and lights flickering.
That's when you are really pushing the limit killing the ICM.
