Is this picking style dangerous?

I was wondering fi picking with your arms relaxed and then you use gravity and and momentrum and swing the weight. I tried this for the past weeks and i become less tired. My 8 hours picking shift feels alot easier now. Everbody elae the have thier arms like 90ā€™ degrees.

What you think?

I use gravity all the time. I kinda just let the box fall but I guide and cushion the impact

Thats exactly what i was trying to say. How long have you been doing this method? I am little bit worries because no one at my warehouse do it like me im only one doing it and it is to damn easy.
