I wonder if the 12V car battery has enough "umph" to get those amps through you...



I was working on my old '91 Crown Vic (with a carb'ed 351w) one day, cleaning the contacts on the solenoid. Accidentally wrenched a little too far, using the wrench to contact both terminals of the solenoid, causing the engine to turn over..

That was not a fun feeling, but the nice thing about DC shocks though is that you get thrown away, instead of AC which makes your muscles contract.

.. also, it was just going through my hand, not from one side of my body to the other through my heart or anything like that.
