Jumping a 6 volt system with 12 volt is always risky. Even if you make your final connection at the frame.When you hook to the frame that spark may not ignite a battery but you can still get a small spark at the other connectors.Once you get 12 to 6 volt battery you get high charge current and produce hydrogen gas faster and it can get worse if the battery is frozen and builds up a pocket of gas inside. I saw a battery explode after we quick charged it at a high rate,we unmooked the charger and the battery blew when we hit the key. It was probably frozen . Point being be careful and if you must do this try to cover your face and eyes because when they go they go with extreme force.
