Unlike many common beliefs, voltage is not the main cause of death. Rather, current is. A person would be alright using a current of 0.001A but will die if current strength is more than 0.07A. However, the high voltage myth is used so commonly because the voltage itself is more well known than the current(as used in the "electric power"). And as high voltage also implies high current, this leads to the confusion.

I.e. 0.07A can kill a person
