Hi All,

This arguement has been going on for years!
I think both forms of electricity posess the same level of danger. It
depends how you touch it. If you brush it with the back of your hand the
muscles contract and you pull away from the conductor. If you contact AC or
DC with the palm of your hand, or the palm side of the fingers, you are
history. The current will again cause muscles to contract, but this time
causing you to grasp the conductor even tighter.

Coil On!
