RE: Which actually HURTS?
You don't usually have one without the other. Given that contact resistance is pretty much always in a certain range, or better yet, negating contact resistance and measuring from within the skin, you get pretty much ohmic behaviour, ie, a constant relationship between voltage and current. So from that perspective, one is not worse than the other.
And of course ultimately, the thing that really does damage is power, and the amount of damage done depends on the time, so you have three important factors.
was put impeccably into words at DebianDay for me last Saturday, by Knut Yrvin of Trolltech - adults try something once, fail, and then are like "ffs this doesn't work". Children try, fail, and then try again, and succeed - maybe on the second, or even fifth retry. But the thing is that they keep at it and overcome the problems in the end.
