Years ago I was tasked looking after some aspects of occupational safety.
The theory that they worked on was
for every 330 times you take the same risk [cutting hooves with sharp knives instead of foot rot shears for example] 299 you will get away with it. 30 times you will cut yourself. once you will lose a finger.
it is a random selection, how much of a gambler are you?
Use the right tool for the job, it is easier and a lot safer.
