Too bad they went with a relatively low frequency.  400 Hz is widely
used in aircraft and has numerous advantages.  In fact, if they would
go to ~1000 Hz, electrocution would become a thing of the past.  The
human nervous system can not sense an electric shock when the
frequency is higher than 600-700 Hz or so.  One could still get a
nasty burn, but think how many lives would be saved.

OT, to be sure.
