I don't believe that's quite right.  The ring voltage is pretty high
impedance (like the rest of the signal), while the ringer impedance varies
quite a bit.  So what ringer you have will affect the voltage.  I've seen
the voltage with no ringer go over 120v (although it's not supposed to).
Still, I wouldn't want to be in the tub with any of them.

But since drowning causes a lot more deaths than electricity, maybe we're
focusing on the wrong thing ?
