I always like to place a piece of wood across the ways when removing or installing a chuck also when fitting large heavy objects into a chuck, and yes, always keep your hands out of the way.Glad to say I have yet to smash the chuck on the carriage.
But, I have, however, dropped the 6" 4 jaw on my hand unscrewing it from the spindle... I suppose better bruise my hand than damage the ways.....
