Yeah, it's less likely that constant high field will get you, but dB/dt will quickly induce deadly currents (in the heart/brain etc) on anything in it. That's particularly true for AC fields (or quenched magnets), because your body actually has a lower impedance at moderate (100Hz to MHz) frequencies than at DC.
