Don't think a balanced antenna "saves you", it still represents a hazard if

Are there any statistics about how often such a PME/non-PME fault has
happened in the UK in the last 20 years or so?

If it's very rare, then multiply that by the incidence of amateurs in
the UK population and stop worrying about it.

We live in a society where everything and everyone must be 'safe' from
everything. Police officers occasionally shoot each other, and leave
their weapons in lavatories, just so one will be 'safe'.

Just saying 'fuggit, let's do it anyway' is heresy....
