The British plug has a lot of features that are supposed to make it very, very safe. It’d be interesting to see if there’s a study out there that tries to make apples-to-apples comparisons of electrical accidents in different countries. Do those features actually work out in practice?
The US plug is bad, but does that actually translate into more accidents? Hard to say. If you can do the study above, then you can start making the argument for switching to something else.
No, not even close.
