Ours don’t.

Static discharge?

More likely so that when the water stream
hits electrical stuff that current is earthed.

I have no idea. I presume that they don't rattle too much, as they are
used not just on fire engines, but on many normal, American trucks. I
only knew about them as I happened to see a video, on Youtube a few
weeks ago, showing them working on a truck on a snow covered road.

Nope, they hang down free.

But they were not reaching the ground.
