Humans are expendable, but don't destroy them hard to find capacitors! :-)
It's no less safe to discharge them gently, first using a resistor then discharging directly, than discharging them with a "bang."
Besides, if you discharge them with a "bang" a tiny piece of molten metal could hit you in the eye.
I don't normally wear safety goggles while working inside a transmitter. That itself could be a hazardous distraction.
