It is dependent upon the amount of amperage, or electrical shock, you are exposed to; the duration of the exposure, the longer you are exposed, the more dangerous it can be for your body; and the pathway of the electricity to your body, distance always plays a factor in the severity of an electric shock due to the fact that the closer the shock is, to an important part of your body, such as your brain or the heart, the more dangerous the shock is.
