I am well aware of that because 50 years ago got a burn hole in the tip of my little finger from the high voltage rectifier in a colour TV back when I was working in a Radio & TV service shop. Probably in the 30,000 volt range? Took 30 years for the scar to eventually disappear!

Warning: SEA STORY.
55 Years ago I had a Navy Electronics Technician (ET) as an Instructor at ET School, in Great Lakes, Illinois.
Pierce at one point showed us one f his elbows, which was hideously disfigured and showed clearly that he had been seriously injured earlier in his life.
He told us he got a cross the hot end or a shipboard Radar magnetron with his hand. What saved his life was that his arm was bent and the energy could not make the "turn" due to "the skin effect." (At very high frequencies, all of the energy travels on the outermost surface or skin of the conductor. (Indeed on shipboard radars in those days the conductors were called "wave guides" and looked like roof gutter downspouts - hollow inside because no energy conducted there. Turns had to be small bends - NOT like a bent elbow!
