Skin depth varies with resistivity. That has nothing to do with medicine. And I doubt that anyone would say that relatively high currents flowing through your body is a good thing. Anecdotal evidence suggests that it can be highly damaging to the nervous system, as one would expect.

A TC goes up to what? 1MV? We know TCs are not DC, and the peak current is very short but high. And touching that you become a resistor and a capacitor too, and if that voltage decides there is some fat in the middle of the low resistance muscle, it will just burn a very small hole thru it.

Actually I was considering that link as true. They say skin effect in human is not like in copper. (But a lot more depth.) If thats true then what I said works too. But if not, then I just wrote a wrong post. 60Hz high voltage makes holes thru everything that is barely conductive.

LoL. I mean I don't know how to measure skin effect in humans. But I'm pretty sure it is not some micro centimeters like in copper. I just threw some average body resistance into some online skin effect calculator and it already gave me 6-7 centimeters as depth. That is enough to hit a person almost everywhere inside. 7cm from the back and 7 from the chest, you almost go thru the body of a skinny person. 7cm each side covers almost all arms and legs, and head. Since the body has a lot of low and high resistance parts inside. I don't know how the current will burn its way out.
