I believe 50V is a safety limit.

Below 50v is considered "low voltage". Higher voltage would require different safety considerations.
And that's because of your skin resistance. Around 50V is when voltage starts to overcome it.
usually. It's very possible to get a shock off of significantly lower voltages in bad conditions (very sweaty skin, for example).
