I've been bitten by a mere 110V and it felt like a ball bat smacking me!
 
I got 'bitten' a couple of months ago, 380V 3-phase.
The 'electrician' had bypassed the breaker coz it kept tripping out.

My foreman told me the machine was not working, I go over to investigate and lean on the guard effectively making a nice ground. It was painful at best and felt like I was stuck to the machine for over a minute. Eventually it stopped tugging on me and threw me backwards. I was blerry sore for about 3 days.

Couldn't get video. Women are tougher than men; they feign vulnerability to get men to do all the heavy work and risky stuff.

Its not the volts, but the amps. People regularly take tens of thousands of volts off a Van Der Graff (sp?) generator to make their hair stand out.
