Would it be impeded much by the grass?

How waterproof are those things, anyway?

How much danger are these people in?


I'd usually google this sort of thing, but I'm not sure what terms to use.

I have no idea how to answer the question, but consider the depth the electrical box is in. It has to have been submerged for quite some time already. I would imagine the box has been shorted out for quite some time.
