I witnessed a college kid, while shadowing an engineer, nearly lean on the exposed bus of a 1200A electrical panelboard while it was getting IR scanned. He and the engineer had a little aside about safety after that.
Big amps sounds scary, but 100mA can be lethal and it's all the same for any current above that. Big voltages are what you need to be scared of.
The panel in question was 480V, 3 phase
I just had a meeting yesterday where my boss talked about a guy at a substation site who literally tried to lean a metal ladder against a bus.luckily he was stopped but he said the guy got so close he was sure he was about die right in front of them.
