Comfirmation
I need to know if this is correct

when you touch a live wire you get electrocuted only because your foot maybe grounded and thus your resistance compared to the resistance of the entire wire is extremely small and thus almost all the current flows through you (kind of a short circuit)

however you can hang by a live wire with your two arms.. now cause you are almost an equipotential (since you are not grounded).. but there will be small current flowing through you cause now again you act as parallel to a small portion of the circuit.. but the current is very very small cause

Cause your resistance compared to that small portion of the wire you are parallel against is VERY high!

is this correct?? |dw:1368092046033:dw|
