I also know two people, my mother and a leader at my boyscout camp. Both wearing rubber-soled shoes and survived without needing hospitalization.

Maybe birthday paradox or something similar at play? Only 64 commenters but appears more common than your belief would indicate.

I bet if you are a regular golfer you would know more, and if you spend 100% of your time in a concrete jungle you would know less.

The rubber soles don't mean much, though. The electric current just passed through kilometers of insulation (air). It doesn't care about 2 cm of rubber.
