Camera flashes will give you a nice little jolt, but it won't seriously
harm you. I rigged one up as an electrical muscle toner, but never used
it. I eventualy just used it to shock myself and others. It has nearly
no real current behind the 280-360 volts. I know. I've played with them
many a time. I still don't recomend "playing" with them, but I wouldn't
worry for my life around one.
