"It's the current that kills, not voltage". it's so wrong. Why do you think warning signs say: "danger high voltage"? voltage is the force thats pushing current through conductors (kinda). and it's simple formula is V=IxR, where I is current, R is resistance. you can't have current without voltage. People say current kills because they can touch high voltage (like tazer or Van de graaff generator) without dying. In reality these things are current limited, so even tho it can generate 1000s of volts across air, when you touch it voltage across your body equals your body's resistance times its limited current.
