Godwin's Law invoked straight from the thread title.

I understand wanting to be safe, but let's not be ridiculous about it. We can't live in bubbles. The ultimate safe thing would to just stay home. You know, where you can accidentally fall off the couch and get carpet burn.

The best thing to do is just think about what you are doing, and be aware of your situation at all times. That is the ultimate protection against injury. Ask yourself "How can I prevent any reasonably foreseeable problem here, and who or what around me could be affected?"
