Basically yes.... When you are talking about DC that is. DC is way more dangerous than AC because it causes the muscles to lock where as AC reverses polarity allowing you to let go.
AC actually makes the muscles spasm, often throwing you away - it might throw you off a tall building, or down the stairs - but at least you don't get electrocuted!
Yep I once got thrown back from a dodgy plug point where I was plugging something in. Luckily I fell back first on the side of a duvet-wrapped-bed about 3 metres away.
I got a good shock once when I still lived with my parents, and my work space was my bed! - I actually landed stood on a chair about six feet behind me!.
How about experiencing the plate voltage on a rf final output tube? Not only do you get to experience several hundred or more volts, but you receive an internal rf burn that lingers for quite some time as a constant reminder of one's carelessness. Yep, I've experience that too from a pair of 6146 tubes!
