Well the key is where you take the shock. It only takes a surprisingly

Across the chest is the worst possible type of shock, almost as bad is
from the hand and down through the body to the wet feet.

Which is almost impossible to avoid in cars ... one hand on the chassis,
the other poking around near the HT leads ...
