Yes. It's important to replace frayed wiring, or insulate the wires (from each other and from the surrounding environment) using appropriate electrical tape or other insulators (shrink tubing, etc.).

When does a short circuit happen?

It's a quasi-random event, that usually occurs after a certain amount of wear and tear frays insulation. A short circuit happens when current is diverted from the circuit it is meant to power, by linking the two power supply lines directly. This can be caused by many reasons. Dropping a metallic object onto a circuit board may bridge the power supply and cause a short. A damaged power supply cable, may allow the two conductors to touch together, providing a direct connection across the power supply, drawing massive amounts of amperage and possibly catching fire. A component, like a smoothing capacitor, may fail linking the two otherwise insulated plates together, causing a short circuit path. Fuses or circuit breakers, usually take care of a possible short circuit and remove the power before the appliance or cabling, actually catches fire.
