bd139:
This looks "interesting". Imagine what happens if it goes wrong  :palm:

I'm surprised something like that got cert!

wraper:
Nothing happens. It's safer than most of the universal travel adapters. All of the plugs are always insulated from each other.

Raj:
By not looking at it with detail... One would assume, there's no switch, and all plus are connected to each other.

Looking at it carefully, you'll see that the socket is acting like a rotary switch.

The worst that could happen, hitting it and impailing yourself

bd139:
I am aware you're not going to kill yourself (immediately) with it.

I am aware however what happens if it gets damp inside or the contacts are made of chinesium and end up spreading themselves all around the rotor. It's rated for 16A apparently as well.

And yes it's safer than most. I've got a shucko to UK extension lead like this for Euro travel:
