It aint the voltage, it's the amps that kills ya.

This question is always presented as an either / or type issue and IMO it is not either / or it is both.
You can have voltage without current, you can't have current without voltage. So like the gun example you need both in the right combination to kill you.
So I will stick with it is electricity that kills, not exclusively the voltage or exclusively the current.

Don't know that it really matters, dead is dead. You could get hit by 480, live and then die falling off the ladder.
Stick your tongue on a 9 volt battery, then stick your tongue in a 120 volt light socket. Now tell me that the voltage doesn't matter. :roll:
Not picking on you, but if you're going to use intelligent response in a sentence then you need to spell response correctly.

Using the information above one could discern that it is current that causes ill effects on the human body and not the voltage making the statement, ?current kills not voltage? a true statement.
