2 systems with 1 set of speakers - safe?

Due to special situation I will have 2 systems with 1 pair of speakers for about a month. Each system is independed - complete except for speakers. The speakers which I have accept bi-wire and here comes my idea; Instead of connecting and disconnecting my speaker wires from each amp - how about I connect one amp to LF posts and the other amp to HF posts. Now, I realize this is NOT how this should be done - and assuming that I will never have both systems on at the same time - is there any possibility to damage my speakers or other components?
One amp is tube and the other one is SS.

thanks!

I forgot to add that I would still keep the bridge between LF and HF posts on the speakers....
Really the idea seemed good to me; instead of connecting and disconnecting speaker cables for each amp every few days - I just keep them both connected.

And of course - as you said - NEVER EVER turn on both amps at the same time.
