      I’ve been popped by 120 volt a few times.

      It hurts like a motherfucker, but should throw a breaker or GFI before it kills.

        That’s only if it’s on a GFI. The resistance to Earth for a typical human is well below the “boy this space heater sure is drawing a lot of power” line that a breaker detects.
