On the IBM chart it tops out at 500ma and says that may cause tissue damage, long after you are dead.
I assume they err on the safe side.
The cited list above is the OSHA chart.
Just the fact that they are not the same points out this is all conjecture.
I used to point out to the guys I was pitching safety to, that these studies are usually performed using college students who had to pass a physical before they could participate. This is a projection of what it takes to kill a healthy 20 year old. That ain't anyone here.
I hate the idea of anyone walking away thinking there is a safe shock when you are dealing with electricity.
A 10ma "freeze" could quickly rise to a hundred ma when the victim starts to sweat.
