The video showed only a very economical switching mechanism and a dependency on having the earth wire properly connected. I would feel a lot better about using it if a hair-trigger balance fault interruptor was integrated into the showerhead.
Pictures of that are some of the most horrifying things you'll see. Fortunately this does not happen anymore due to residual-current devices and safety mechanisms in the shower heads.
