>>17365904Car batteries have plenty of amps to kill you. Most are around 600-700 cca (cold crank amps) and house electrical panels are usually 15-30 amps. In a low-ohm circuit, a 12v battery can pump a ton of power into a device (car starter). Your body's natural electrical resistance saves you from death. That being said, there is a lot of risk to what they did. Under normal circumstances, they are fine. Add some form of metal to the equation or if the dude was really sweaty and it could have killed him.
