Homes exterior outlets??? It might be europe but we dont have neither of those seemingly pretty dangerous things.
...in europe. From what i heard america doesnt really have them.
I'm going to assume you are English, since they seem to have extreme fear of electric shocks. But there is never any issue with exterior outlets. 99% of them have covers like this and are no nore dangerous that light switches on a patio or in your bathroom.
The places where i lived for longer times are hungary, sweden and ireland. Ireland has the same plug as the uk, and in hungary and sweden its the general eu plug. While the plug you linked does seem mostly safe, i think its a good thing that the uk takes electrical safety seriously. My main problem with the female plug is its a christmas tree that can catch on fire and i dont think an exposed wire near it is a good idea. If the cover is required in some way to complete the circuit then i have no problem with it. Thats good design but the sad thing is most of times they skip the good design part.
Thr cover doesn't complete the circuit, it just prevents debris getting into the socket. An extension cord doesn't have a cover on the female end and it is completely safe, just like an outlet in a bathroom or a surge protector.
Ok but an extension chord isnt on a TREE. If the breaker trips or the fuse blows the tree is already on fire.
