I'm not aware of anything like "voltage density", what do you mean by that?

The potential gradient is the thing that kills you. It can either be created by a lightning strike or by voltage induced into the ground as mentioned here.

I'm talking about the potential gradient without bringing up new terminology.

If 'it' is lethal levels, then I don't think that 'or' is correct.
