Very easy to hurt yourself if you're not knowledgeable and careful.
I'll concur. We had a large CF spring on our elevator in 2015. It was always a tense moment attaching it to the carriage, making sure only the people needed during the installation were the ones near the robot at the time. Injuries would not surprise me at all.
