I can relate to some of these things, I started my working life as a mechanic and would like to have had a prize for every time I got zapped by touching the wrong end of a spark plug lead, 50k DC volts but no amps as such, one of the mechanics could stand there all day holding on to a live spark lead, I couldn't stand it... all it done was make me swear a lot though.
On the other side of the coin, I had a friend who accidentally dropped a spanner across a 14k AC buss bar in a power station and received horrendous injuries including amputation of one arm.
Moral of the story... know what you're dealing with and don't take chances.

Seems to me that all this voltage touchly-feely stuff is actually machismo at work. Why not just use appropriate meters or tools to determine if >0V is present? This has the advantage of quantifying the voltage to a reasonable level rather than counting the number of nads hairs standing up.
