ELI5: If an electrical outlet (120 volts) can kill you, how come a taser (50,000) can't?

ELI5 version:

Voltage is like the speed of a projectile. Current is the weight of it.

A pea from a pea shooter may have the same speed as a cannon ball, but the cannon ball will hit harder.

So, the taser can deliver a lot of voltage, but not much current. So, basically, it's a pea shooter with an extreme muzzle velocity. It has a lot of sting, but it's still not a cannon.

The wall outlet, on the other hand, has less muzzle velocity, but it can deliver a really heavy projectile. Basically, a mortar.
