If the drill bit just hit the live wire you might not get a shock
because

a) Quite likely holding onto plastics parts of drill

b) Possibly not touching any other earthed item.

Birds sit on live wires everyday without ill effect!

Yes, then you have a screw to get into place while holding onto the
metal rack. How does that work?

Last screw, with it sitting on the bit of the screwdriver held
in aforementioned insulared drill?

Or plastic wall plug, screw a bit too long, only touches the wire on
the last turn or two by which time you're only holding the
insulated handle of the screwdriver. Still, you'd think the installer
would give the rack a bit of a tug just to make sure it was firmly
fixed.
