When you get in contact with it. Your heart would get it's normal pumping rhythm reversed. This state is called "Ventricular Fibrillication". This, will take your life even if power is turned off by your friend. When dealing with DC, you have to escape wet areas. Sweat, rain or any speck of water might give you severe burns to death(under certain conditions)!It is not fixed that till what voltage you won't get a shock. It's just the conditions that matter. Condition of wet areas around DC circuit. Even 20 volt battery held in rain water installed in a device might take your life. DC contracts muscles and skin, thus proving to be dangerous than AC.
There are various tips to avoid a shock, when working on it. Out of the various tips, the top 5 tips which work each time are here-
