Well, both DC and AC currents are equally DANGEROUS at high voltage/ high 
power. I've seen a DC marx generator split open a guys arm before...all his 
fatty tissues exploded like one big fire cracker. His arm bone was exposed, 
and blood everywhere. Sorry for going into details, but I couldn't help it. 
It was a pretty bad sight. He nearly died..he ended up losing his hand to 
severe tissue trama!


It probably has something to do with muscle contraction and discharge 
energy.

I've heard of BRUTAL electrocutions involving energized RADAR curcuits 
during WW2, and as far as I know they involved high voltage.
