I mean, potentially, I guess; but you're rolling the dice with resistances across a few dozen connections, high fault currents, and trip time curves that altogether I certainly wouldn't want to play games with.

Regular breakers are not designed to trip at high speed and prevent shocks, they're there to stop your wiring from bursting into flames. The larger the fault, the faster they will cut off power, but there's no guarantee that'll be fast enough to save you from electrocution.
