When most people are shocked, it is because one hand touched a hot lead and the circuit is completed through the legs, and the heart is largely bypassed. This situation is very different if one hand touches a hot lead and the other hand is touching a grounded piece of metal, in which case the current is traveling directly through the heart. It also matters whether your body is sweaty or not (most skin has less resistance).
Instead of playing Russian roulette, turn off the breaker....
