I would contest it's without incident. The US is higher risk since it uses 120V => the currents are x2 higher and US electrical safety standards are an eclectic mess of: world leading and 3rd world.

Not picking on the US though. These panels in their current incarnation, are lowering the level of safety of electrical everywhere.

This is all just my opinion though. A lot of my background is in compliance. I've been frustrated by some obvious electrical safety advancements that are STILL not being implemented. I also have first hand experience with many many signed off electrical systems which were death traps. This all biases me heavily towards not compromising on electrical safety. But maybe I am overreacting.
