Just go and have some fun with it...Yes, it may break,( and show a bit of caution) but  you don't need to write a risk assessment for everything you do in life.
If you do hurt yourself, get a splinter or break a nail or something, for goodness sake don't tell anyone on here or you will get a stream of "I told you so" messages...LOL!

Hey kid, dont take my note of caution to you as discouraging. I just want to show you that it was unsafe and then show you how to make it safe. And like I said, its cool for sure. And good point about wrapping your fingers around the stock. Real cross bows can take off your fingers that way. remember that. Those sliding strings at speed are like razor wire.
