Because you can spill water with nutrients (good conductor) and cause a short. Dangerous.

My steps are:
-cables not pinched, and run up off the ground whenever possible
-everything grounded
-new sub-panel with new breakers
-working on adding GFCI outlets for the lights
-all extension cords rated for 10% over max amps they will be carrying
-all timers rated higher too
-extinguishers close at hand
-smoke detectors in every stairwell
-lights hung with chain, not string
