No it's not
Hold the avocado half with the pit in the palm of your hand, swing the knife PARALLEL to your hand catching the pit with the length of the blade, not the tip. Twist the pit out of the fruit. Trying to pierce the pit with the tip of the blade aimed at your palm is visibly suicidal and those who try it are of a lower mental order.
Score the avocado fruit with the tip of the knife and scoop our either slices or diced chunks, depending on your preference, with a large spoon. The chef at my local taco wagon can do a dozen avocados in 49 seconds. His hands are free of scars. He operates his blade with the confidence of a Viking berserker.
“The first rule: Never use a sharp knife”
Dull knives cause more injuries than sharp knives because you have to use more force with a dull knife.

The idiot author should stick to butter knives. The rest of us will be fine.
Stick a fork in it - pop - You’re done.
Wonder if this guy’s writing a book on this?

Weird. I’ve never had an avocado incident.
