Yeah... I've worked with some smart fabrics and I wouldn't touch them knowing the voltages this kind of stuff requires to work.

I'm sure it can be done safely, but those folks touching it were all wearing gloves. I agree!

And if a single wire in the fiber breaks the entire line is gone, though this is hardly perfect with stationary stuff it seems a lot easier to happen in a fabric...

But still extremely cool. I just hesitate to wear clothes that I have to plug into a wall outlet :-D
