Oh dear, somebody that is not reading their specs very well.
Also the tiny amount of current needed to kill if across the heart is a
sobering thought hence the one hand in the pocket advice I have used all my
life. it can burn you, and damage nerves but its not going to kill you if
you get a shock across your fingers or hand to arm.

Incidentally has anyone here had an RF burn, that is most certainly one of
the worst pains I can recall

"A live wire is a wire with current flowing through it. Because neutral
doesn't have any current in it, but line does, you could say that line is
live. This explains why that you can be shocked from touching just the
line. You can't be by touching just the neutral or ground. Line to neutral
is the most deadliest if it travels across you. Line to ground will tingle
a lot, but it won't necessarily kill you because the current draw isn't
nearly as much as line to neutral."
