my practical understanding is that volts will jar you and throw you away from the shock...this will hurt, but probably won't kill you unless you land on a spike or break your neck when you fall...an amperage shock will hold you and continue to 'cook' you from the inside out...

Aren't volts and amperes just different ways of measuring electricity...?

volts dont kill you amps do. look at stun guns with 200,000 volts and up. I guess if you had enough volts than you could die but i'm pretty sure that its amps that kill.

Volts measure Electromotive Force, while Amps measure current. its the current that kills you, not the EMF

Define 'better'.
look up 'scientific' and rethink the question.

It is the voltage that can kill you and not the current.
