Yep. Had one let go on me once over the years and it is genuinely scary... This compressor set are pretty decent though and these springs are not too tightly wound up.I commend your bravery using spring compressors. Doesn't matter how many times you use them without issue they still feel like a live hand grenade ready to go off at any time.
But yes - caution is being exercised!!
