A 75 amp (12 volt battery) is still harmless... How come ?

The difference is that DC current flows in one direction only whereas AC current flow in both direction alternately. It's this change of flow that makes AC current deadly. Dont be mistaken because enough DC current can kill you but it takes less than 1 amp AC to cause death>

Both voltage and electromotive force (amps) can kill low voltages less than 60 volts can shock you even with lot's of amps. But when you get above 60 volts and 100 mili amps better take precautions. Modern 255 volt hybrid cars can kill so far two each technicians Toyota and Honda have died! And as many as 10 first responders after a car crash have bought the farm, the air bags go the battery should be disabled "should is key" Do not touch a Hybrid car that has wrecked and air bags are intact. Voltage to ground can kill and keep the ocupants in the car until the first responders say it is safe to approch the car to remove the occupants.

Go lick that 75 amp 12v battery and tell me that it is harmless.
I have been sweaty, and a car battery bit me , all you have to do is be properly conductive, and any voltage / amperage combination can be harmful ! "They" say that 16 milliamps across the heart can kill you, no matter what the voltage.
So to say that "VOLTAGE" doesn't harm you, is wrong. 100,000 volts can hurt you bad even at the micro-amp level.
