Try measuring your resistance with a multimeter. You'll find that it is way more than 10 Ohm, which is why 12V is not dangerous to humans.

Just do NOT stick the probes into your fingers, ie, don't break your skin. Depending on the multimeter this can be extremely dangerous.

Wow! You're not kidding...

> As my electrical safety instructor said, "The reason we now have to teach the electrical safety course to all electricians at least twice per year is because some joe was bright enough to be the one person in the world who could figure out how to kill himself with a 9V battery."
