And the path that the electricity takes... If your hand contracts for 3 
minutes you may lose your hand, however, if you heart contracts for 3 minutes 
you could just lose your life. 

Apparently why electricity is so dangerous is that it takes the most direct 
route which, if you are holding one side with your left hand and the other 
with the right, is straight through your chest. 

Safest is probably to use one hand and one foot.
