...Wait, that's the reason you think it's dangerous? Dude, that's absurd. When using scythes as weapons, the pole section makes the blade be more-than-enough far away from the user to avoid slicing oneself, unless you make a very small slice and get yourself too close to the blade.

Unless you happen to be a moron, you won't slice yourself with a scythe because you would be slicing in arcs, a very circular arc. Even with vertical slashes, as you normally wouldn't go spinning it around instead of just going back to slicing.

Of course, the way Ruby used it in the Red Trailer and some points after is rather dangerous. 1 mistake, you could get hurt if you don't die right there. But using it like that would be rather stupid in real life. Scythes are already impractical weapons, do you want to use them even more impractically?
