You most certainly can, we got shocked all the time, when you rub wool socks and touch a door knob you get shocked, and of course you survive. What you might be referring to is electrocution, say struck by lightning and have died, in some cases you can survive it all depends on what you're using and what you were shocked by, lightning actually isn't as fatal, more people survive from getting shocked by lightning then by getting shocked by electrical wires or a common house hold item, in might seem a little far-fetched, but it is indeed true.
Hope that Helps!!
