Electrical Question RE: Grounding, or lack thereof

On my last trip, I noticed the ground prong on my 30a to 15a dogbone adapter that I use with my Honda genny had broken off. Didn’t want to risk anything so I ran down the street and bought a new one....

Thanks folks for the good advice. I didn't want to take a chance on anything so I picked up the new dogbone as mentioned. I could see the potential for trouble when connected to shore power, but did not understand where potential trouble could come from when running off the Honda EU2000 since it is not grounded anyway. Good info and good food for thought.
