Of course I
have the occasional attempt to zap myself, just to remind myself not to do it
again.? My latest was in a professional power amp ¨C transistorised, but
capable of 600W per channel into 8 ohms.? That means that the power rails
are +/-100V (so a delta of 200V).? That packed quite a kick.? I was
trying the Mk 1 thermometer (finger) to see how warm the heatsinks were.?
Oof.

Like
here in the UK you cannot do installed mains power work yourself -
like
install an armoured cable to an outbuilding. It is now illegal to do
this
(in the UK). It has to be done by a certified electrician, and
your
domestic insurance requires this. And why is that? Because the
government
looked at the number of deaths by domestic electrocution. This
reduced from
30 deaths per year before legislation, to 22 deaths (2010
data). So the
whole raft of legislation - that the taxpayer pays for -
and the costs of
using a c ertified electrician saves 8 lives each
year!
