The problem is that the breakers are not ganged like they are on a real

the other leg is still hot! You can get zapped thinking the power is off.

Couldn't you install a ganged breaker in the box where the two cords
come together?

You could but who knows if it will pop before one in the panel? Even if
you put smaller breakers in the box than are in the panel (that will
help) but you may unknowingly have a weak breaker in the panel that
could trip before the double one in the add on box.
But even a bigger concern is when you unplug one of the plugs and not
the other from the wall. The loose plug can easily be hot from the other
one being still plugged in.
Too many things to getcha in this deal.
