Water isn't that great a conductor of electricity. Large bags of water with lots of electrolytes in are much better at conducting electricity, and that's what humans are. So we provide a preferential conductivity path for electricity (which is why dropping an electrical appliance into the bath will do unpleasant things to any occupant).

 

Indeed, deionised water can be used as an insulator; But,  if you were to touch something tht was "Live", would you rather do it with a dry bit of skin, or a wet bit of skin?

I'd rather do it with someone else's skin.
