Yeah, I actually had to look it up because I wasn't sure but it's a 60-cycle "brute force" high voltage supply. It's "only" 2,500 volts but at 60 Hz, I hear that should be more than enough to kill you. Even the DC high voltage with what looks on the schematic like it should have a fair amount of current available behind it wouldn't be something I'd want to tangle with.
