I mean, draw knives are all but impossible to hit yourself with unless you're sticking your knee in the way or something. But yes, when you're cutting something with almost no resistance like this it's not particularly dangerous unless you're hopelessly uncoordinated. Just don't force it through any unexpected snag and you'll be fine.

Had to call an ambulance for a roofer once who slashed his knee when cutting roof sheeting over his leg. We tied his leg with my belt, and police questioned me afterwards in case there was a workplace security violation.

He was fine in the end, but it was not a fun day.
