ALRIGHT PEEPS HERES HOW A PSU COULD KILL YOU:
So lets find out the specs of the capacitors in some random 1000w PSU:
http://aphnetworks.com/reports/seasonic_platinum_1000w/3This Seagate PSU has 3 330µF x 420V capacitors in parallel effectively creating a 990µF x 420V capacitor.
Amps are what you can use to figure out if something is lethal or not, so lets go and find a calculator for this:

https://van.physics.illinois.edu/qa/listing.php?id=6793Looks like the high range is 1000 ohms internally and a huge range of 1000-100000 on dry skin.
If we use a generous value of about 3000 assuming your palms be sweaty from being nervous working on something that can kill you, we get that there's about 0.14 amps running through your body in an instant.
https://www.physics.ohio-state.edu/~p616/safety/fatal_current.htmlStates that anything about 0.1 amps is likely to cause death.
SOOOOO
Have fun dying if you managed to short the capacitors with your body on the PSU.
If any of you actually have experience in electrical engineering, have fun correcting anything wrong with this~

EDIT: Fixed series to parallel.
