Driver Station ESD sensitivity

I just found out that you need to take ESD precautions around the driver station (grounding yourself, static mat...). Does anybody know any more details? Apparently grounding the metal case doesn't help.

How many people have fried their DSs? What parts of the DS are sensitive, if not the entire thing? How severe is the damage caused to the DS?

And how are we supposed to ground ourselves at competition, since we can't bring anything other than our control station?
