Right, current is what kills you (it actually doesn't take that
much, though.....) and, like Al mentioned, current from arm to arm is
the worst, because it can cause heart fibrulation (sp?)
Line voltage is particularly bad becuase 50 - 60 Hz is somehow
magically the worst frequency for causing heart fibrulation, I think.
