      Probably not, unless one is wired incorrectly. You’re just connecting hot to hot and neutral to neutral, so no power should flow.

      Of course DO NOT TRY THIS. Because any mistake anyone has ever made in the electrical wiring could trigger a disaster. There is a substantially higher than zero chance you would die, and it would hurt a lot the whole time.

        I’ll start by saying do not do this, but even if it was wired wrong and neutral was connected to hot and everything was properly insulated, then the breaker would trigger pretty quickly since it would be a short.

        If the breaker is faulty, then there could be a bigger issue, but that’s fairly unlikely.

        That’s a valid point, if wired correctly. If not I agree the breaker should pop, but, if it doesn’t yeah all hell would break loose and probably end in fire at the least.
