amps is the actual amount of electricity flowing, so the more current flows through your body the kore dangerous it is

except that to get high enough current to flow throughout your body you need high voltage, the two are coupled, you can’t have one without the other

except again that is an oversimplification, you can have high current and high voltage flowing through your body if it lasts for a short enough amount of time your nerves cant feel it and your body will keep working the same, that’s what happens in static shocks for example, yeah it’s 10000 volts and maybe a few amps will flow though your body, but it lasts a few microseconds so you are fine
