Achtually, most Uranium is uranium-238, which is mostly stable. People use it in glass and decorations and it causes them to glow in blacklight. It's safe as long as you aren't in daily constant contact with it or eat it.
Uranium-235 is less stable, but makes up less than 1% of Uranium on Earth. The quantity in natural uranium isn't much riskier unless you're exposed to enriched uranium which has more Uranium-235.
The byproducts of a chain reaction of U-235 fission are what cause most of the dangerous radiation. Which is to say, the leftovers of a nuclear explosion are very radioactive and dangerous, but natural uranium before exploding is mostly safe and it won't explode unless you enrich it and set up the correct conditions.

Hell, a big enough chunk of any material from the periodic table will do a person in if it's thrown hard enough.

Everyone wants to be tall, but they forget that Goliath went down after being hit with a pebble.

I think beryllium is scary. Inhaling the dust gives you berylliosis

Idunno, a lot of those chunks would be too cold to throw in solid form..
watches as some of the world's foremost engineers and chemists collaborate on a billion dollar project to build a machine that creates solid helium and then chucks it at random passersby

With apologies for the pedantry, the sling stone was more likely "from the size of a billiard ball to a tennis ball.” and capable of “slightly less stopping power than a .44 magnum cartridge.”
So yeah, being tall doesn't stop you from going down from the equivalent of being shot in the head..

Exactly. Sling yes, pebble no

So you're telling me that dwarfs are immune to a thrown brick?

I mean... more than Goliath.

To a giant, that's a pebble.

Tbf, uranium is intensely toxic even if it's not very radioactive. Shit's like turbo lead, it's a crazy heavy metal.

I was being facetious lol

lower centre of gravity, less chance of toppling over
