Re: Its not the voltage...

It's (all the) stories like this that for me instantly recall Edison insisting that AC was dangerous and that (his) DC should be the standard power supply running into every domestic residential home --and how close a thing that was due to him being such a dedicated and active public parasite-- which always trigger a quick cold chill flicker over me for what (the risks/costs of) ordinary life could have been like today, in terms of loss of life. If not for a touch&go historical chance at a tipping point. Which was based on Cost, Achievable-At-The-Time Financial Cost for nexus players, not Consequences for all.
Look at how many anecdotes-of-jolts just on this thread that we'd never have read because that person's just a forgotten scorched corpse, sadly buried as an unavoidable side-effect of modern life. "Sad, but that's life."
Cold chill, every time.
