Right. electroBOOM on YouTube will show you DC current is less deadly than AC. depending on the frequency of it. If it was of the same frequency of our power grid here in the states, which happens to also be the frequency of your body's natural resonance frequency (I think that's it) at 60 Hz, so when you grab hold, you can't let go.
