So?
That's hardly a reason to surreptitiously impose a huge safety-related responsibility on a stranger. Not only that, your statement is also logically the equivalent of saying "Well, I've never been hit by a car, so it's safe for a toddler to play in traffic." You've never had your arm cut off by a chain saw, either. Are chain saws therefore safe to juggle?
