DC isn't as dangerous as AC

That's what Edison was trying to demonstrate when he invented the electric chair. At 42 volts, you might get burned but it's unlikely you'll get killed. AC has a bigger bite. I know - I've been hit by over 500 volts DC while working on a power supply during electronics training and it didn't hurt as bad as being bitten by 110 AC (done that, too).
