Nice!
On a side note, as someone who's subscribed to ElectroBOOM channel, I gotta say that 50 Amps of current won't shock by themselves, they would rather just fry. I remember 120A at 1V just melted the wires; when Mehdi used thicker wires he could touch both of them with his tongue without any harm. However, when he switched it around (1A at 120V) he received a pretty strong electric shock. So you also need high voltage in order to properly electrocute someone, which, admittedly, high current creates conditions for.

It all comes down to your body's resistance. What kills you (and cooks you) is the *power* input, which is voltage TIMES current. Your body's resistance means that if you have a voltage of 1V across (say) 50000 ohm resistance, you're only going to get 1/50000th of an amp of current. If you put 1V across a wire at 150 amps, and then touch your tongue to it, your tongue is still only going to have 1V across it and you won't be getting the full 150 amps. Whereas if you have 150V, that's going to put a much higher current across the same body resistance.
If those 50 amps are provided by a current source capable of stepping up the voltage to accommodate the resistance of Cinderace, it will definitely fry them. And those earrings will help: I was told a story in class once of someone who tried to use a big multimeter to measure his body's resistance... then jabbed the sharp probes into his thumbs to measure resistance without the skin, and the small voltage used to measure resistance with the vastly lowered resistance of his bloodstream, created enough current to stop his heart. (I can't remember whether he actually died or survived with medical attention, but it was a cautionary tale so he may or may not have actually existed.)

No problem! Yup low voltage will just get resisted by high resistance no matter how high the maximum amperage rating is, and high voltage with a low maximum amperage will not discharge enough power to be dangerous (eg. scuffing socks on carpet to make a static shock you can feel is hundreds of volts, but very little current and for a very short time). Also body resistance can vary, and actually decrease under high voltage as the current can cause the skin to break down and become more conductive. So if Cinderace here were using skin on metal as the contact points instead of piercings, we might want to step down the voltage with time to keep the current from rising beyond experimental limits.
I also should note that this experiment would be significantly affected by type resistance or vulnerability if we were electrocuting a Flying, Water, Grass, Electric, or Dragon type, and Ground types would be completely immune. Good thing Cinderace is Fire type only, which is affected normally by electricity.
