Scope probes are not reliable, even expensive ones. One careless error, and it can really hurt.
Sure if you are careless you can be hurt walking down a hallway.
How do you think high voltage devices like switching power supplies are designed and tested? Somebody somewhere had to put a scope on it and make sure it's working right.
I have not seen anyone get injured by a scope probe's insulation failing.
I have see scope probe ground leads vaporize. But this is most often due to using a grounded scope when a signal ground has a large voltage potential above or below Earth ground.
