>The "physics" of electricty are tricky at all voltages, there are recorded cases of people dying from electric shock from a 24VDC truck battery.

yes, that's because lethality is a combination of voltage, current and the location where those are applied to the body. Apply one charge to your foot? No problem. Apply the same charge to your chest right above your heart or in some configuration where the current flows through your heart? You are probably going to have a bad day :p
