AC is more dangerous,. since its nature is attractive. at every sinusoidal reversal your body potential is reversed,. thats why it is attractive. in case of DC source, its creates a capicitive effect, once your body is charged with DC potential then its repell the body from source.

also for same potential difference, lethality current range for DC is higher. it means you required higher current than AC to get shock in case of DC.

AC and DC are different ways of transferring energy, but they are fundamentally the same thing. Think of current as a river. There are 2 ways to move water in the river the "flow" of the river and "waves". DC is "flow" and AC is "waves" for electricity. But the properties of water don't change depending on how it's moving, neither does electricity. However, electricity does attract and repel things, depending on the properties of materials. Most materials are attracted to charged objects through ionization, a.k.a. static electricity.

hope it will help you....
