Senile lloyd wants to know how high voltage is safer than low.
Anyway, you apparently you never took the hospital electrician's
advice of referring you to the NEC manual.

A taser is 50,000 volts. Thats high. The amperage there isn't a
factor. A stun gun is 900,000 volts. That outta tell you right there
that voltage isn't what harms. It's low voltage with higher amps
that is harmful.

Talk to a physicist or a doctor your own damn lazy self if you want
to know what of two voltages fits your satisfaction of what's safer.


In case someone out there is naive enough to believe anything
morongulah posts, those examples can be used around people because
they have an OUTPUT IMPEDANCE high enough to limit the current to
below the fatal level. The high voltage itself is NOT the reason, if
it were lightning strikes wouldn't kill.

Unlike a power transformer they can't by design put out much current.
The HF yellow bug swatter for example charges the screen up to 700V
but the inverter in mine can deliver only 7 milliAmps continuously
into a short circuit such as an ammeter.
