James,

I'm not sure that the on-off nature of ac allows you to let go. I think it
paralyzes the nerve response in your muscles. It is far too fast to give you
the opportunity to say "I think I'll let go now".

Bill.

The reason why many people survive unbelivable lightning strikes is that
when lightning strikes it tends to stay on the out side of your skin and
goes around you. Thats why you hear that their clothes are blown off. If
lightning finds a way into the body it will also exits at at another area
causing damage. The cell walls become full of small holes changing the
chemestry of the cells. This damage can take a long time to heal.
The on and off nature of AC can give you a chance to pull away where DC can
make you freeze on the object
