I don't think you are particularly lucky! I think it is just that that particular type of incident is pretty rare, as is being struck by lightning, being the victim of a homicide, etc. But, electrical codes HAVE to consider, and try to prevent, even unlikely incidents, which is why the "rule" is there.
