I thin it depends on what chemical you are working with that day and have on the end of the screw driver. after all we all use our flat heads to mix epoxies, scrap grease and gaskets, and do a lot of jobs we do not use Philips for, on the other hand we seem to open stuff by puncturing it with the Philips.
clean, I will go with a Philips down deep into the lower thumb muscle, most flat tips are shallow cuts.

I would say a flat head with a screw gun would be about as bad as it could get without moving into spade bits and augers. The only way I can imagine stabbing my self with a screw driver would be using it for something other than a screw driver and all the things I can think of doing would not be possible with a philips. I would use a flat blade to puncture things rather than a philips and a flat head works very well for cutting sheet metal.
I'm sorry I am getting way off base here but with a topic this silly, who really cares?

Gotta say flathead- oh, and never try to open pacific oysters with one- they have no easy way in and seeing a screwdriver come out the other side of the meat of your thumb is not cool.

I don't stab myself much with phillips. My most common stab is while using a flat to remove horseshoe clips on brake shoes. Just the fact that it happens so frequently with the flat gives it my vote.
