It is not just the voltage but the flow of current (amperes) that determines how much electricity (energy, joules) is passed through the body. A tiny current at very high voltages is harmless, although less so with a high amperage and tiny current. The resistance of the skin may allow high voltages to flow along the outside of the body rather than through it.

Voltage levels above 50 volts are considered potentially fatal to humans. However, the exact level of voltage that can be fatal can vary depending on individual factors such as the pathway of the current and the duration of exposure. Any voltage level above 1000 volts is typically considered extremely dangerous.
