I once received a shock in excess of 30,000 volts and survived with minor shock and no injury at all. I hooked up a timing light to my car incorrectly. Lots of voltage, current nil. My arm snapped back of it's own accord, hard enough to throw the light about twenty feet.

My arm was sore for a couple of minutes. Lucky me.
