Use Ohm's Law: His hands might have been 100k ohms. 100V across 100k is a current of only 1mA. The power in 100k ohms with 100V is only 0.1W which isn't enough to fry anything. For a very high current of 500A to flow, the resistance must be only 0.2 ohms. The power in a resistance of 0.2 ohms with 100V across it is 50,000W.

Even if the leads penetrated the skin I don't think you could get .2 ohms, unless the leads were very close. In which case the water in the skin would vaporize and you'd explode a small patch of skin. Lovely thought.
