Normally Electrical Engineers claim that AC conducts more easily thru the human body as compared to DC, whatever the skin condition.But, if you're really wet with sweat, the best conduction path may not be under the skin for AC or DC. Electric shock is always somewhat unpredictable.
What makes a .45 bullet to the head more dangerous than a 9mm bullet to the heart? High voltage kills! Don't play with it unless you understand all applicable safety protocols and are able to apply them!Hence, I want to understand as to what factor makes AC supply (at fundamental frequencies) more dangerous than DC supply.
From your reply I should infer that it's only the voltage that is fatal (and not frequency).....AC or DC supply does not matter.What makes a .45 bullet to the head more dangerous than a 9mm bullet to the heart? High voltage kills! Don't play with it unless you understand all applicable safety protocols and are able to apply them!

In my opinion, the present OP's interest is more so pertaining to power system engineering and does not relate to effects of voltages and currents on the human body! (unlike the link you have pointed out)Also refer,

I've been wondering, If this discussion was the OP's initial intent?
I too have experienced this 'kick by a horse effect' when I was once electrocuted while working on a blender motor rated at 220VAC, 50Hz.on a more mental note were as electrick vence had a more of a devestating evect it felt as if i got kicked by a horse
This is true of different AC voltage ranges as well. Some cause a spasm which will cause the victim to sometimes throw theirself clear, others will lock up the muslces & keep the victim from letting go.is it also true that some freqensies push you and some pull you
This seems to be quite interesting! is there an online link or paper which represents the effects of different AC frequencies or voltages on the human body? Also the effect when the supply is DC?This is true of different AC voltage ranges as well. Some cause a spasm which will cause the victim to sometimes throw theirself clear, others will lock up the muslces & keep the victim from letting go.
