You are not harmed by contact with a charged balloon, even though its voltage is very high. Is the reason for this similar to why you are not harmed by the greater-than-
To explain: The region behind the high voltage high temperature spark is harmless
Explanation of Solution
High voltage cause the charge to move at high speed in the conductor, and high temperature cause the heat to move in from high temperature to low temperature.
Since spark lived for very small period of time, in that amount of charge and heat energy transfer from one object to other is in harmless amount.
