No doubt we can sense it, the question is, can we anticipate it without vigilance?

Is anyone ever really safe? So many things can happen at any given moment, from a car crashing into a crowded restaurant to a tree falling on your house. If people really wanted to be safe, they'd never drive anywhere. Being alive is a dangerous thing. Having faith that whatever happens, you can deal with it is about as safe as you could ever be. Feeling safe is all relative to your surroundings. Some people feel safe skydiving, or driving a car at 180 mph. No, it is not naive. Feeling safe is similar to just being confident.

It may seem hard to believe if you watch TV but today billions of people will leave the house and make it home without being abducted. They also won't die in an accident or even be hit by falling space debris. For that matter they won't win the lottery either.
What's naive is to worry about possibilities. Worry works extremely well, the things you worry about never seem to happen.

No, it is not naive. It is wisdom and enlightenment or a delusion, all of which are good feelings.
If you have deluded yourself into feeling safe when you are not actually safe, you may suffer. If you are wise and enlightened and have protected yourself with philosophy and psychology and knowledge of other sciences and that makes you feel safe, you may still suffer.
So enjoy the good feeling of feeling safe. Naive is just a label.

depends on your standards of safe. you can die in more ways than can possibly imagined. if you discount the more obscure ways then no

No, because we must gamble that we can sense harm
