Reminds me of two major events in my youth. Like you being shocked by the HV rail of an old tube radio and another acting as the ground for an old floor polisher in my grandpas shed. I guess I preferred the 115v AC, I remember it kind of like a massage chair but all through my body. Luckily my brother knocked into me long enough to let go, not sure I could have otherwise. The radio was brutal, knocked me back across the room leaving my hand aching for a bit, scared the beep out of me.
i got electrocuted by 240v ac 50hz more times than i like to admit.
turns out its easy to disconnect, never held it more than 2s and its relatively painless.
never went near dc hv stuff with isolation so never got a chock from that yet. i intend to keep it that way
