At uni we learned that 30V can penetrate skin in the right (wrong?) conditions. Once it's through the skin, your body conducts really well, so even a tiny amount of current can stop your heart. But you need a path for the current to get across your heart, so I'm guessing that even if 30V gets under your skin, you'd have to be pretty unlucky for it to form a circuit through your heart.
