The reason he didnt' get shocked bgadly is most likely that nothing on him was grounded.
DO NOT TRY THE FOLLOWING!!!!
Some older electricians I've seen don't use a voltmeter to test a circuit, they'll just lick their thumbtip and fingertip, and touch both contacts, letting the current travel through one and out the other. With a lack of a ground, and no path through the heart or brain, no permanent damage results.
