volts do not kill, amperes do. It does not matter how big voltage is, important is how big is current that is going through your body. Current over 10mA (25mA DC) is considered not safe. Sparks from wool clothing or piezoelectric lighters have tens of thousands volts and still are harmless, because current is practically zero. This is also a reason why someone can sometimes survive lightning struck.
