Ack!

I don't recognize the brand name, but I know that most cheap surge protectors are basically ablative shielding. Unless you know for certain that yours is designed to be fail-safe ("if I can't protect you, I won't let any power through"), you should probably relabel it "extension cord".

My current favorite style of power thingie is an APC UPS whose off switch is a recessed button. It's easy to push on purpose, but hard by accident.
