I sure hope they are using a GFCI

Staged.

Maybe. Maybe distilled water in the pool? (ok, that's staged too)

Nothing looks "staged", or phoney for that matter.
There is no return path to complete a circuit, as long
as nobody goes to handling those cord with wet hands.
Whether the water is a conductor or not, it is not
grounded... and thus not a risk.


Right, and another photo from the original site:

No, not staged...

Doesn't look like they are being electrocuted to me... ;-)
