A lot of modern things confuse me. Something I've wondered about are things like video recorders having fuses in both the live and neutral. Presumably it's because they've either got figure-8 leads or may be used with 2-pin plugs on the continent.
A agree with you about not many people being hurt by AC/DC sets. Let's face it, a mains shock under most circumstances wouldn't cause anything worse than some bad language. The difference now is that people don't expect to take responsibility for their own safety and there are legal/regulatory requirements to protect idiots.
There are huge differences between Dangerous, Not Safe and Doesn't Meet Regulations.
