Wait what, so even touching both metal prongs at the same time with one hand won't give you a dangerous shock because it only will reach your fingers / hand at the most, why's that, it's got no where to flow but back ? I thought you only needed to touch the ground to complete a circuit. Also you touched routinely electricity equal to that of a power socket? (at around 10 - 13 amps and 220 volt here in Europe I think). Will it never reach the brain unless the circuit directly is applied to the head, since it takes the shortest path or something?

People make it out to be extremely dangerous, but what they mean then, is if you touch with two hands at the same time? What about two fingers? I thought if you touched with one finger it would go through you and then into the ground through your feet, meaning it would enter one side of your chest or something.
