It's impossible for a 240V outlet to deliver 10A through your body. Unless you're made of metal or something.

But you don't need 10Amps to kill you. Just a few hundred milli-amps is enough to kill a human.
Think the point is that the voltage won't collapse under the load.
Exactly, you can get zapped by tens of thousands of volts from a van de Graf generator and be fine, and you can die from 110V mains. The difference is the importance of the supply.
