For this to actually draw enough current that you can feel, at least one foot would have to be bare and moist. If you were wearing shoes at the time, the sensation you felt was not due to current flow from the battery.
OH yes... had shoes on, no rain, dry California summer, 1957 Chevy, knocked me all the way off the bummer onto my rump.
