Everything on a public forum is an opinion, that's the nature of a forum. Because no one's perfect, accidents happen. If the rodent's dead, there's zero chance for error if you do things right. If the rodents live things can happen even if the snake constricts it as the post below yours mentions. User error and the fact that the snake can still be hurt DOES mean it's safer to feed f/t. And no I didn't expressly say in my first post it was my opinion, but then in your post you made two statements as fact and didn't expressly say it either.
