Part of my premise is that a place you're forbidden from doing dangerous things is safe. I'm sure it's more dangerous to operate a chop saw on a plane, but you're not allowed to do that either. That's part of what makes it safe to be there ;) You're not allowed to do anything dangerous up there and neither is anyone around you. You're also screened on the way in for dangerous goods, and your ID is verified, and that of your fellow passengers. > Related, I bet cleaning and moving things have a fairly high accident rate on airplanes, but the accidents happen on the ground to employees so won't show up in the data. Sure, I meant as a passenger, not as a ramper or cleaner.
