To be picky on this item, it's the current. That is why GFI devices are calibrated at current only. Voltage causes current to flow so that is why it is often labeled "Dangerous". A person with highly conductive skin and tissue will cause a greater current to flow than a person with poor conductivity for the same applied voltage.
