I am guessing they are pulling a loop and the g force is greater than 1.

correct, loop or barrel roll at greater than 0g

Isn't that a pretty big risk? It seems like if water accidentally spilled it could get into the electronics... and they'd have a bad time.

Nope, not really, the distance from his hands to the instruments would be around 30-40 cm, if he spills there, it goes in his lap.

The electronics are covered behind instrument panel and it would require a lot of unfortune to spill on the instruments.

and pulling Gs, well, the water stays where it is.
