We call them a Deadman’s cable up here, and sadly they’re still quite frequently used in the northern rural areas because it costs almost $2,000 to have a dedicated bypass switch installed so nobody does it, they just throw the Main and hope they don’t put too much stress on the internal lines.
Is it legal? Hell no but they do it anyway

What what’s a safe danger noodle then? I thought those were nope ropes.

According to the google, non-venemous snakes are nope ropes. Venemous ones are danger noodles.

I wouldn’t plug both ends of a snake into the mains either.
