I don't think that simply using an adapter will keep you from being shocked.
The repair is cheap and easy. Go down to your local hardware store and get a replacement plug. Cut off the old one strip back the wires a bit and attach the new one.

All you need are a wire cutter and a small screwdriver. I carry 2 of them in my "Roadie kit".
