If I'm not mistaken, I've always been told that electricity will go to ground on the quickest path with the least resistance. If your heart is not near that path. Things should be ok.

And Yep, I've been shocked by plenty of things. Not for a long time now. Job doesn't put me near that situation anymore.
True about the heart. In my electrical engineering circuits classes, the one hand rule was drilled into us. That was to stick one hand behind your back when working with high voltage components. That way, the current wouldn't go into your left hand and come our your right hand. I still try to remember this rule often!
