I have always heard that AC is inherently more dangerous. That was the point that Edison made when he tried to prevent the use of AC power. When the authorities began electrocuting prisoners, he proposed that they call this "Westinghouse the prisoner." Arthur C Clarke also said that DC is safer. I do not know. Any kind of electricity scares me, to be honest. - Jed
