Yep, certainly dangerous. Running a broadhead towards your forearms and chest is stupid at the least. If you cannot see that, then you lose all credibility with me.

A long while ago, I saw a devise with rubber bands stretched left, right, up, down, and diagonally in two dimensions across an opening. The broadhead was pushed through the opening. No real force needed. The devise was supposed to simulate the way dull blades "move" the bands out of the way while sharp blades sever the bands. The bands simulated veins and arteries.

I always liked the Muzzy shots into a trash can. Certainly far from scientific too.
