ELi5: how do electrical water pumps prevent humans from getting shocked when a part of your body enters the water?

1. They don't put their wires in the water. The motor is sealed up from the water within the pump.

2. Electricity follows the path of least resistance. It does not want to flow down some pipe to your body, it just wants to get to the other end of the pump's power source. By connecting the neutral end of the power source to the piping, any electricity that escapes into the water flows directly out and none escapes farther down.
