Failure to do this can do more than try to power the whole grid - it can result in the electrocution of linecrews working on the wires nearby (which is not uncommon since the source of the outage can lie nearby).
This is why transfer switches have a break-before-make feature to disconnect from the grid before connecting the house to the generator.
