DC makes you freeze like in the old films. AC alternates the current and the wave of alternation is what throws you off if it passes through your body. Probably why that type of current is used in a house etc.
If you touch the live conductor and get a belt it does not have to travel to earth via finger to foot. why because it can pass through part of your body. eg. up one finger down another or up one arm across your chest back to neutral at the ceiling rose/ cpc/ earthed/extraneous conductive par. think of the Megger tester safety test button to keep one arm away from the hazzard / danger.
basic stuff??
