"it's current not voltage that kills you"

High voltage: "Por que no los dos?"

I always thought that was a dumb saying because voltage is specifically what allows there to be a lethal current.

[–] druidjaidan 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's a very dumb saying. If you don't have the volts you won't get the amps to kill you that's ohms law.

However, there are plenty of harmless high voltage scenarios as well. Situations with high voltage, but no power.

So really you need both.
