If you want to point a gun at your genitals, that's up to you.

If you're carrying it everywhere, you're going to bump it on things. You could accidentally discharge while drawing it or replacing it in your belt, especially if you're in a hurry.

There's a ton of obvious ways you can seriously injure yourself. But if you have to ask us about it, you've already rejected them and we can't help you.

Bumps shouldn’t matter - try it out with a snap cap. Practice your draw. Never reholster in a hurry. Problem fixed.

Carrying at balls

As I said, not an inherent part of the design. It is recommended for a 1-3 carry, not appendix. I’m going to respond to the rest, but from the POV of carrying in a manufacturer recommended position.

bump on things

The trigger is covered by the holster. The Glock won’t bump out of the holster, mainly by gravity and extra secured by thumb strap. I’m unsure how it would go off while covered and secured

Drawing

Finger on the trigger during a draw is negligent rather than accidental. I’m not sure how any given holster design is more or less safe when the factor is somebody improperly grabbing the trigger way too early.

Replacing in belt, in a hurry

Not sure why this would be hurried. If the Glock needs to be removed, it can come off with the whole holster, so putting it back in the holster in a hurry can be entirely avoided.
