I was working with a circular saw and extension cord on a ladder in light rain Monday night (gotta get that roof up before snow settles in!) and got a moderately bad hit of 110. I didn't drop dead where I stood nor was I thrown off the ladder. Don't exaggerate.

I did retire the extension cord, though.

You misunderstand my comment. And you misunderstand how electricity works. Had you been well grounded, you could have easily died. It only takes about 200 milliamps to kill a human.

110v/10amps is plenty to kill you. It's not the voltage that kills you, it's the amps. That is why you can touch a 20,000 volt tesla coil and barely feel a tingle.
