Absolutely!!!!!! When a good friend began opening a magnum of Roederer on my
deck, I observed that he removed the cage and foil, and then reached for
something on a nearby table. I bolted out the kitchen door, but too late. The
cork dislodged and hit him just below the eye. Other than a large sore spot,
no real damage done, but 1/2" would have been a different story. He knew
better, and has successfuly opened hundreds of bottles of bubbly, but this one
did get away. Never, never, never take your hand off of the cork!
