He was not bleeding profusely from both hands nor standing in a pool of blood.

He was not bleeding profusely from both hands nor standing in a pool of blood. He stuck the probes into his thumbs. This sub thread is not so much about whether it is probable that a person will die but whether it is possible that a person could die. And, with some convolutions, you can work out a situation where a person could indeed die. Importantly rasz_pl is claiming that 50 mA cannot kill you. The rule of thumb is 50 mA at 50 V across the heart is enough to kill you. This voltage level is dropped if the skin is broken - and you don't need a big wound. If you're saying it's fantastically unlikely to actually happen: I agree.
