A few things maybe...

Others visiting a studio are afraid to comment on obvious deficiencies...

Some people with studio (even commercial teaching studios) have never been taught about the hazards.... Specially if they are "self taught"....

Some teaching studios don't bother teaching a session on safety before ever lighting up torch....

Some people can't be bothered to take the effort...

Some people think safety if a problem for others and they can't possibly be doing something dangerous or hazardous because that is the way "BobbyJoe" does it or showed them how to do it.... (sorry BobbyJoe)...

Some are afraid of criticisms from the people in the "White Bread- Paper Doll" world where everything is beautiful....
