I wonder how well the moving contacts to bring the power from the live and neutral to the power cable will survive, though - they may become worn and intermittent with time.
Do we really need the fold-out wings? Could we not just rotate the live and neutral pins into place, then plug it in? Or do the standards require a certain outline to keep fingers from the plugging-in bits?
The fold out wings provide a great way to minimize the possibility of contact with the live contact.
And it's just so pretty!
I live in the UK and I don't know anyone with fuses in the actual outlet. We normally have a circuit breaker and fuse in the plug. For things like my PC, I also use 4-way extension cords which have an additional fuse and surge protector.
Touching a 110 volt terminal: painful but probably not serious. Touching a 230 volt terminal: very painful and quite possibly very serious.
