| Its double dangerous, DEADLY dangerous.
First you have the exposed male plug ends when the cable is only connected at one end. 240 volts will kill as easily as 110, ventricular fibrillation is not a situation you want in, because the only way out is with a defibrillator or death. And you don't have the defibrillator at hand and you can't use it on yourself. 3 to 4 minutes from shock to gone.
Then there's that chance of forgetting to pull the main breaker and feeding back to the power line. Then a lineman expecting a dead line gets fried, or you try to feed the whole neighborhood and your generator gets fried.
Yes it works, but its deadly dangerous if you forget or someone close to you doesn't know those details and tries it when you are gone and there's any problem or mistake.
DON'T DO IT YOUR WAY. IT MAKES LIVES TOO SHORT.
