I've seen several threads on spingles, springs, etc. and have seen very little on the dangers of the spring. I know a guy with a steel plate in his head because a coil shot out and hit him when he knocked the ball joints loose.
It is a good idea to use a spring compressor whenever spring removal is needed. I didn't have one when I did my spindles and springs, so I used a fully threaded rod, some washers, a couple nuts and two pieces of steel or aluminum plate.
If anyone wants to see this setup I'll try to get a pic.
