Default RE: lever or bolt action, why one or the other?

i dont like exposed hammer levers just because you fall and it has a greater chance of going off than anything else..and i always hunt with someone else so that isnt very safe..i do have a winchester 88 lever gun with no exposed hammer...its a nicer lever gun..but my main gun is a bolt..i only put one round in anyway i dont care how fast it comes out..if your going to do some big drives and liek to fling lead id opt for a lever or a pump just to make sure your deer goes down...besides the quick followup theres really no reason to get anything other than a bolt or a single shot...
