You know it's not likely to suddenly shred itself (and you, like a bug 
in a high speed turbine - oh wait, it IS a high speed turbine), but you 
also know that it _could_. It's that sense of imminent danger, like 
peering down at the water between the dock you are standing on and the 
35,000 ton battleship moored mere feet away from you, knowing how easily 
you could become nothing but a stain on the weathered wood.
