The amps are what kills you, frequency won't make a bit of difference.

Assuming there is sufficient current involved, if you act as a route to ground, you will be a conductor, even if frequency is so low as to appear to be fluctuating DC. The amount of current is what really matters.

It is dependent of body mass and duration of exposure, low frequency does not mean safe exposure. At low voltage with lenghty time or high voltage with shorter time will impose harm to you.

It's the current that does the trick. As little as .010 amps through the heart can do it.
As an aside it's not courteous to back pat a prisoner who is going to the electric chair and say "More power to you".

IT IS NOT the Voltage that will kill you it is THE WATTS that are produced. Naturally the more voltage the more watts. Be carefull. Just a few watts is fatefull.
