Don't cut yourself!
But seriously, if you engage in physical activities while carrying a folder consider putting a rubber band around it so it won't open when you don't want it to. As an example, I find my Buck Strider ( you think I'd carry a light gun rather than a crew-served knife )working open when I jog. Being a lefty I carry tip-up, but even tip down could bite you if you do something that has a high potential for violent actions.
What made me think about it was an upcoming ski trip. I really don't want a easy opening knife opening itself on my person while I'm spreading myself all over the mountain. I've taken crashes so ugly I'd probably not carry a chambered firearm either. I'd go for a sheath knife, but extreme rentention isn't always a top prioity in sheaths, so I think I'll take the rubberband and deal with a harder to deploy knife. Besides, I've got fiberglass ski poles and sharp 6ft sticks, I think the knife is lower priority.
