1,500 volts direct current vs Idiot. EXTREME VIDEO FOOTAGE - Toyota Yaris Forums

1,500volts isn't really anything... in fact... voltage doesn't mean squat. High voltage just means you can arc gaps... but voltage isn't what kills people.... Amperage kills people. A 1/4amp to the heart will kill a person. That's why it is such a good thing that our skin is relatively dry and such a good insulator.

I think static electricity shocks are 3,000 volts, and it only takes like 30mili-volts to fry a computer chip/electronics.
