Because said impulses travel through the nervous system, which is designed to do so. It’s like, international communications are done through giant cables that run in the oceans and they don’t short out. The nerves have membranes that keep things not part of the nerves out, just like the cables waterproof insulation does.

Plus the electrical impulses are chemical rather than electrons rushing around like we use for power generators.
