Fuses protect wires in the walls, not what you plug into the socket.
If the tine in the neutral socket makes contact before live, it'll probably just pop the fuse. Hot first, and you better hope it's a GFCI.
So, we are a bit trollish today. I'll match the mood.
In your basic euro socket the safety latches don't open unless you poke both holes at the same time.
If you cut two middle spikes of a fork and manage to shove it in the socket, you'll just short the phase to the neutral and blow a fuse. You'll be part of a partial circuit and feel it, but most of the current will favor the direct "fork connection".
If you are in the United States of Dumbfuckistan and only have 120Vac in the socket, considering surface area of contact to the fork, you'll probably only get little over 20mA running through you. It'll take a long time to get a respiratory arrest. You'll probably get bored and detach yourself by leaning back. Heart complications may still follow.

I wrote that after a six hour flight after a two day bender of a wedding. Didn't even realize it was a euro plug lol.
Very understandable.
