I've heard it said that first day beginners on a wood saw will almost never hurt themselves. Their fear of it, combined with their known ignorance of it, makes them extra cautious.
Veterans of many years are the ones who get too comfortable, and too complacent. I guess the confidence of many years leads them to work a little too closely to the blade.
This might be a universal human trait, across any industry.
That reminds me that Qualys was just hacked.

I wasn't surprised, I've used their product...
I feel like with a lot of security or cyber-crime stuff there's a "physician who smokes" dynamic to it where the people who you expect to have great security actually often don't take a lot of precautions. How many hackers end up being exposed because of fairly trivial or random accidents is actually surprising.
