OK, so if you don't open the Isolator there is a risk, and if you start the
generator before plugging in the live plug there is a risk, BUT if you are
carefull and do both of these bits properly, what else is not safe ?

Supposing a member of your family, or a workmate etc closed the
isolator, then you would be backfeeding down the mains.

Supposing a member of your family, or a workmate uplugged the generator
from the wall socket with it running, the plug end would be live.

Both are very good reasons why doing such is highly illegal and no
doubt if caught you would be liable to have your supply cut off and H&S
would without doubt have you in court.
