I noticed in a lot of videos of people using those battery tab spot welders they hold the tab in place when doing the welding. Now I know that the electricity is probably just flowing through the path of least resistance and that would be the battery tab an not anywhere near your finger, but at the same time, if you touch one side of a live 120v AC wire you would definitely feel it. Could someone explain to me how this is safe?
My hypotheses:
I was looking up this safety stuff, and someone mentioned that its the current that kills you not the voltage. It seems like you only need enough V to get the e- to flow through your skin. These spot welders use ~1.5V and ~500-1000A current maybe it's Voltage is just too low. In that case, if you have really sweaty fingers, would this be dangerous?
Here's a one of the vids I watched of the guy spot welding touching the leads:
