A couple of things. Grounding (hooking up to a grounding electrode)
is really not so much a matter of human safety as it is to provide a
path for lightning and a way to equalize voltages.
Please calculate the the cross-sectional area of a conductor required
to carry the current from a lightning strike, and compare and contrast
that with the typical #12AWG cross-sectional area.
Grounding an electrical system will not provide a path for lightning.
