perhaps a 5v USB socket in the bathroom would have been more sense, a live mains extension lead with a dangling socket in the bath regardless of where you plug it in is unwise.
Stupid, avoidable, but mercifully very rare. Unlikely to be mitigated by any of the recent regs changes, AFDD metal CUs and so on. A more sensitive RCD may help a bit, perhaps, if the bath is earthed but not for sure.

Oh Dear, not good, even a landline phone socket in a bathroom is not allowed. 5v charging lead for a mobile phone not a good idea either? but a mains extension, well mercifully rare but there you go, if it can happen it will happen and all we can hope for at best is that we might have reduced the odds of that to some degree
