No.But with that typing you might mis-read the instructions. 
Mostly accidents happen when people are careless or make dumb mistakes.But every once in a while you get a defective part.Which is one of the many purposes you leak test outside of the pc case.

Yes that has happened to some, but it has never happened to me. I ALWAYS do a 2 day leak check before powering up the MB. Those who do as I do will tell you that watercooling is very safe. Trust me when I say that if it wasn't safe I wouldn't be doing it.
i had a weired problem with my new setup. i tested it for a day and a half. everything was well. so i put everything in. i didnt move around the tubes or anything. i was sitting on the ground picking up the remaining screws left over from the project when i heard the pump start to suck air. i look up and see nothing but coolant dripping from the pump onto my dvd drive then dvd RW drive, from there it dripped onto my 200GB WD HD then onto my 36GB raptor. then it proceeded to go where my raid 80gig drives were. i was backing everything up and was stupid enough to put all my drives at the bottom of the case. i instantly turned it off and checked everything. luckly nothing shorted out or got any coolant inside. it was weired, it just decided to leak directly from the pump. when i started it up the next time it didnt do it. i took everything apart and tighted everything again. no problems since but i keep an eye on it.
