I've been shocked by 300V DC @ 500mA and I'll take the equivalent AC any day. Obviously both can kill you, but the DC was far more painful and instantly gave me 3rd degree burns. Also made me ululate some kind of tone I didn't even know the human throat could emit.

The consensus I've heard from a few family members who work in airport maintenance is that HVDC will make you wish you were dead, while HVAC will make you dead dead.
