Fibrillation is a problem, but so are electrical burns. 5kW is going to cause a lot of tissue damage.

  Your body does not let the 5kW go through it.

    Does not matter if your hand, for example, is in contact with any of the exploding material that comes from a short in a high-current situation.

    While I believe that precisely 5kW will not travel through your body, considering you can arc weld with 48V/100A and your household 120V/10A (1.2kW) sockets can cause severe burns, I think it's safe to say this hypothetical 5kW source could do a lot of damage. Unfortunately I specialize in low voltage, not high voltage power electronics.
