I was looking at the following diagram to see why the person is shocked.
To me, this looks like the following :
So if there is a short between his feet, why would the current go through him? .. wouldn't it take the short? and so 0A flows through him?
But then I was thinking that the earth between his feet must have resistance too. So is it more like this?
Which does result in current flowing through him?
