Heh Ive busted contractors doing exactly this to save themselves a trip to the circuit breaker. Just short phase to neutal and pop the breaker goes. Your reasonably save assuming the wire is insulated and the breaker is in good operating conditions.

I have to bust their chops about it because its not fool proof safe and its not good for the breakers
