You don't really want to know what a professional photographer flash 
does if charged and fired when wet (about 50 Joules in it).

But the nastiest experience I had was with 12V dc in sweet water. I was 
very very wet and I held bare wires to contacts at 12V. If it had been 
24V I would likely gotten stuck like that. Now I know exactly what those 
frog legs Volta used for his experiments felt.
