As long as your not using a grinder, cutting torch or any other cutting tool it will probably be ok.

You want to see 30 soldiers freeze dead in their tracks? (true story)

We were on the demo range tying C-4 charges (1 pound blocks) in a det cord main line. A guy two positions down from me says "oops".

Everyone freezes and there is total silence for a second. Then the guy next to me looks over at the other guy and quietly asks, "Should we be running?"
