It's a biggie if the socket splits while you are applying pressure and
you break a few fingers as a result.

You will almost NEVER see a real technician with a busted or banged up
anything... with just a little thought and common sense, you can almost
always position yourself to safely deal surprise slippages and/or tool
failures. Having and using the correct tools for the job plays a big
part too.
you should always try to pull towards yourself, not push away.
this'll reduce the chances of injuring your hand if something
slips.

Yeah, you might save your hand, but when it lets loose, you may beak your nose
or lose a few teeth instead.
that'd be funny. if one of my buddies did that, i'd fall down
laughing.
