It sucked the water right the way up and shot it out the back.
The chap who did it was unharmed, and no trip/fuse/RCD tripped.
Explain.

Water isn't very conductive. Most of it would have gone through the
impellor, rather than the motor.

its a cylinder hoover where all flow goes through the inside of the
motor. 2 core lead, no RCD anywhere, and just not enough current to
pop the fuse. Remarkably it emptied the whole damn tank - and it was
no small tank.
