There is a safe way to do it, but...they've done this so many times, they do it the unsafe way figuring it won't be a problem.
This reminds me of the last time I worked in a rural setting as a junior. A nurse nonchalantly alerted me to a patient who she described as having had a laceration with some circular saw, with a demeanour suggesting that she thought the patient was a bit of a sissy and should've been told off and sent home.
I took a look at the wound and immediately blanched -- this man's second and third digits of his dominant hand was so obviously degloved that I can't imagine how the nurse could've seen the wound and called it a laceration, the subcutaneous tissue on both fingers was really trying its best to invent a new form of codex.
The only explanation I could think of how she could've given me that handover was that she didn't look at the wound at all and decided to short-cut the decision-making process after hearing a one-sentence summary of the history from the patient's wife.
I don't really have anything to say about the programming side of things, just wanted to share a story that also incidentally includes a woodworking incident and someone trying to take the easy way out.
This is depressing.
