It's kind of funny you mention that because some of the worst injuries caused by spiders that generally avoid humans are the startling reactions to seeing one where you're not expecting one, like while on a ladder or even driving. Don't mistake my meaning of advocating for these spiders, I'd be suepr freaked out too. It's hard to have any other kind of first reaction.
