Well, I found that the small scars from the burns will go away after a few

If the rising edge of the current should hit you at the exact right time
in the QRST heart waveform, it can stop your heart (trigger fibrillation.)
The "lethal window" is only open for a tiny percentage of the time, so
you'll have to zap your chest over and over before you succeed in killing
yourself. Russian Roulette. Over and over you can prove that it's
perfectly safe, then after three hundred major zaps, suddenly you get
lucky.
