The one thing that I think warrants care is to consideer where the primer would go IF it fired while being decapped. It would basically go where ever your spent primers go, but with much more force. It would probably ricochet a few times unless it goes inside a closed container or hits a loose pile of spent primers in a container.

A ricocheting primer could embed in skin or an eye, because there would be a substantial initial velocity.

Still hanging a towel in the right place should be sufficient to protect yourself.

And, using slow pressure will almost always prevent the primer from firing in the first place.

But, as some have already observed, you can not say "never" just because it hasn't happened to you, yet.
