The reasoning is this: electric current is moving electrons; they are all the same charge (negative), so they repel each other (similar to "like" magnet poles); that means they try to get as far away from the next one as possible. Result is they all flow around the outer extremes of the vehicle structure so if you are at the centre no current is near you. It is called the Faraday cage principle.
Like - if lightning strikes a car, you are OK if you are inside it; "planes are often struck by lightning and all inside are safe.
