It seems some get away with 120 volts stinging them and others don't.I wonder if being dry is why we get away with it...... maybe if you have wet hands of feet it is quite a bit more devastating. Defiantly something to respect. I would think that if the shock goes through the heart or the brain it is lights out.Yet I have gotten stung on the arms and hands different times and thought not to much about it.It more of a burning feeling than the spark plug shock or electric fencer snap.
Here's some information on how the human body reacts to electricity https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/textbook/direct-current/chpt-3/ohms...
When I was young I got a pretty good zap from a 6.5v alignment wire on a Lockwood pivot. I was soaking wet, had one hand on the frame, grabbed the wire with the other and got the jolt. I also somehow shorted a 480v 750kw buss bar, that was loud and bright!

Be careful we lost 2 young men in our area last week.
