Normally when people get killed by meters, it a result of the meter

Maybe TPTB thought that one had the potential to, which was why it was
on the list?

The double insulated leads probably go along way to reducing shocks
though...

I dont see how,

due to being harder to compromise with general wear and light damage /
abuse.

as they're not part of the main shock risks with meters. Single insulated leads are still very common on multimeters.

Common on cheap ones, less so on the Flukes etc.
