I work with a lot of electricians. If they occasionally fumbled at ordinary
electrical work on a 600V 150A panel when rushed (requiring a roll), then
they all eventually would be electrocuted. They aren't. Thus... journeyman
status for an electrician must require a level of skill that prevents
fumbles from ever happening. I know that HW doesn't have any electrician
keyword, but there are plenty of equally dangerous professions in it.
Characters don't kill themselves accidentally in sword practice, say by
accidentally letting the target hit them in the noggin with a spiked mace.
They may get killed in combat by battle-hardened foes, but that is opposed
and extended, not a simple, unopposed roll.
