And trying to rinse it with water (which is probably the first thing that anyone would do) will only make things worse.

No, if the sodium hydroxide is already in solution then diluting with copious water is one of the best ways to deal with a splash on skin. You're right that adding water makes the problem worse if you have e.g. a spill of prills to clean up.
