I think the issue is ensuring a body doesn't complete the circuit
between the two battery poles. That is, if you were to cut some cables,
who knows what route the current would take. It could injure the aid
workers or the occupants.
For that very reason I've always been mystified how someone swimming in
a
pool not touching anything could be electrocuted...
This case is different since the power to the lighting or other
electrical equipment is *not* floating. It is relative to ground.
