Since your post my rear cog with all its teeth broken off serviced me another 300 km, with Not Any Animal Harmed (too cold for flies).
Same for my chainring with a quarter of its teeth broken off.
So I'd say, something else is wrong with your (and everybody else "we" over there) breathing.
So Caaaaaalm Dooown, the World is Not Near The End...

I do hope you do not own a car.

Yes. I know it's meaning for roughly 35 years already.

That changes nothing at all that the approach to "know the amplitude, add a safety margin, done" leads to failures for mechanical parts.

Members often undergo superimposed normal bending stresses, transverse shear stresses, axial loads, and torsional stresses simultaneously at a given point. This requires evaluating principal stresses and making suitable strength comparisons to determine an adequate margin of safety against failure or excessive deformation.

That's semantics if the tool makes contact, and if not, you risk injury. ;)
The tool is usually held steady, thereby mitigating the injury risk when striking it.

300km, that's like two/thee weeks riding if that. One week for many. Or even one day if doing an event.
Remember "since my post", that was 6 days of 50 km, nobody was harmed, despite 2 rides had quite some luggage ;) on the way back.
Fixed, 47/16 gear, so it's some pushing when bridge up, and the drivetrain did the job without complaints, like the 7 years before, despite the teeth are quite different of what they were then. ;)
Yet, you claim unsafe.
You are abit alike that character in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Asterix_characters that held a shield above his head all the time, because he thought the sky would fall.
The druid healed him - he left throwing his shield away dancing happily.
You can find Panoramix contact details there. ;)
