My old man used to do that in his workshop. He said that if a plug wasn't 100% seated and a piece of metal went flying and slid down the wall, he wanted to be sure that it landed on the ground pin and then shorted hot/neutral to ground as it slid down further. If I recall correctly, he said that he picked up the idea from a hospital electrician many years ago.....
