Remember: 'It's the volts that jolts, but the mills that kills.'. The
voltage is not of much concern. It's the current that's the worry. It
doesn't take an amp across the chest to kill a human, and those little
capacitors will discharge quite a large amount in very little time if you're
not careful. I've (intentionally) been hooked up to a couple of milliamps
at 6000 volts without feeling more than a slight tingle in my fingertips -
but even at quarter of an amp I would be very careful of anything more than
a couple of volts.
