Humans have no better ability to tolerate an AC shock than a DC - a 20ms
cycle is just not long enough. AC voltages are higher at the same average
current for a given power, and so have greater capacity for overwhelming
their insulation. Also AC creates oscillating magnetic fields and forces

At least with AC here in the states, you have 120 opportunities per
second (100 in Europe) to let go as the voltage and current makes a
zero transition. :-)

It is only one way to solve the problem- read the basic literature about
the Electric Chair.

Hi,
I've always learned as well, that DC is more dangerous than AC.
And you probably also know the saying:
It's volts that jolts,
but mills that kills.
Kind regards,
