Is it save for acupuncture?

Dear Dr King

It's my first time to post in this forum. After studying this informative course I have some question to ask you.

According to the course materials, some acupoints are located near key arteries such as Jing-riverqu LU 8 and Taiyuan LU 9. How dangerous it is if TCM students fail to insert the needle on precise points but to arteries or nerves?

Have you ever experienced such mistake of students and how to prevent the mistake?

I wonder if massage on the acupoints can effectively replace needle insertion in treatment.

Thank you
