"Ouch" in what sense?

Do you expect to get a shock?  You won't.  Go grab both battery posts at
the same time.  You won't feel a thing. 

Ot do you expect to expect your body to create a negative to positive
path, thus casusing the battery to explode (or some oither catastrophe)? 
Only if you are more conductive than the jumper cables, in which case you
definitely need a new set of jumper cables.
