I've been doing some research on electrical safety and for the most part everything seems to make sense to me, but the Skin Effect on the human body is confusing me. I know how the Skin Effect works in electrical conductors, but how does it work on the human body. This video illustrates my point:
At very high frequencies the human body can tolerate voltages that would be normally lethal. Granted that the human body can be an electrical conductor, how does this work?
Also, I've read some places that the skin effect can trick you also. For example in that video, the guy might not feel much but there is some damage being done to him internally. This would be more true if the voltage was much higher(I believe people who make Tesla coils can tell you more about this).
