This would make it so much worse. Water would just increase the heat transfer to the wearer.
Good home example, if you wet an oven mit and try picking up a hot pan with it, it will burn your fucking hand. If it was dry, it wouldn't transfer the heat as fast.
That example is not a good example since a wet oven mit doesn't get new cold water poured on it while carrying a hot pan.
Even if it did the cold water would not reach the part of the mit that is incontect with the hot pan.
