Why is it dangerous to connect two flexes to the same plug?

Connecting two flexes to the same plug can be dangerous because it increases the risk of overheating and electrical fires. Each flex is designed to carry a specific load, and combining them can exceed the plug's current rating. Additionally, if one of the flexes experiences a fault, it could create a hazardous situation for both circuits. Properly rated equipment and outlets should always be used to ensure safety.
