If you have a pre-existing cardiovascular condition such as an arrhythmia (e.g. chronic atrial fibrillation, etc), the added electrical shock wave has the potential, but not guaranteed, to do harm.
Yeah but thats in rare cases. Its also possible to fall off your computer chair right now and crack your head open and die. OC Spray can be lethal to those with respitory conditions, and a baton strike intended for the joints that loses its mark due to the persons movement and hits them in the head or neck can kill them as well.

Nothing in this world is absolute, but a TASER is IMO the most humane way to gain compliance with an uncooperative subject.
