I keep seeing videos of people coming home to a burst pipe or the neighbors above them having a flood. The water pours down from the ceiling and from the light fixtures (lights are on), but the people walking around the house don’t get electrocuted.

One possible explanation is that the flood water immediately shorts out the circuit and trips the breaker/gfci/arcfault system as designed.
Way more dangerous are high voltage distribution lines outside, that do not have the usual circuit protection like inside the house.
