It's only when people are ignorant of the dangers that the risk is higher. Take your buried cables for instance. While they are a hazard if cut the danger is reduced because its current is going to ground and typically the ground can absorb it. There are exceptions. Utility workers have been killed by high power lines (5000 volts plus) that fell onto the ground and they were thirty feet away from it. With electric vehicles, the issue isn't so much the charger itself, but the electrical going to the motors. Someday, a home mechanic is going to open up a vehicles control box thinking its "only" battery powered anyway, and not recognize the danger potential inside. I expect the manufacturers will use a security fastener to limit access to qualified service personnel. As we all know, a determined person can find a way in. There may even be warning labels, but will the warnings be heeded?
As for natural (or propane gas), yes they can be dangerous too. Especially as they get older or are disturbed. Pipes rust. Ground moves.
Natural gas also has no smell. That is why the gas supplies are given a rotten egg smell, so that leaks can be detected easier.
Trivia: The first scratch and sniff product was made for Dayton Power and Light by National Cash Register (NCR). It was the rotten egg smell. They sent it to all their customers so they would know what a gas leak would smell like.
And I agree, life can be dangerous, no matter what you do.
