If you are worried, take out the batteries and let it sit for a day to discharge the flash capacitor. Their leakage is enough that the voltage will be safe after this period of time.

HA !
nope - sorry it doesn't
i have gotten zapped by a camera that had been sitting without a battery for over a week - sure it wasnt as much of a zap as i would have gotten if i had just removed the battery, but it was still painful
my boss at the time managed to hurt his neck, as twitched while being zapped by a flash capacitor too (but that was a bigger flash, in a bigger camera)
the zap from a point and shoot type flash (even fully charged) shouldnt be deadly for a healthy human - but i can assure you it hurts like hell (i got zapped 4 or 5 times in the 1.5 years i fixed cameras, my replacement got zapped 4-5 times a day for the first week, then 3-4 times a week after that)
discharging the capacitors is pretty easy to do though, providing you can find the points to do it, and can get to them without touching them first
when i was fixing cameras, we used a 100w 240v light bulb, in a holder, with test leads attached - we touched the test leads to the flash cap, and the bulb lit up for half a second or so - the capacitor was then discharged.
it can also be done with a resistor (but i dont know exactly what type, and you dont get the flash from the bulb to show it worked)
