The problem is that at high voltages even the wires can have a capacitance to infinity, and although the supply may be limited to 2 mA, a spark discharge of a few thousand volts from just a few picofarad capacitor can deliver amps for a few nanoseconds or microseconds. I have never killed myself with this, but did kill my digital ampmeter that way.
