Default Another Car Battery question

If you think THAT is dangerous, how about this?
My neighbor is a volunteer firefighter. He recently told me that (at
least some) of the new hybrids have 300 or 400 volt systems. They have
been trained NOT to go near one of them that has caught fire or even put
water on them for fear of being electrocuted! ----"Even if you hear
then screaming", he says.
So, to me, 42 volts doesn't sound that bad. Hey, what do you think
of having 120 volts and 240 volts running around your house?

If that 120 and 240 volts was DC instead of AC, I'd be VERY CONCERNED.
