G9X flash switch: Any risk of unintentionally turning it on?

Hi,

I notice that the Canon G9X (I and II) has a dedicated mechanical switch for raising the flash. Now I just wonder:

1. Is the switch only enabled when the camera is turned on?

2. If not, is there any risk of unintentionally raising the flash while the camera is in the pocket (if kept e.g. in a tight jeans pocket)? I remember having previous compact cameras where e.g. the shooting mode dial has been turned unintentionally while in the pocket, that's why I wonder.
