By removing the negative battery cable you are disconnecting the battery from the chassis of your vehicle. If you begin to remove the positive side before the negative and your wrench would make contact with any part of the vehicle, then you could cause a short in the system. Or if something grounded itself nothing would happen.

No contact, no circuit, no drainage.
