Is it dangerous?

Leave it as is. Put a dishtowel or two around the cork and bottle, and slowly twist the cork out as normal. Then you can extract the cork from the corkscrew.
Then throw the cork at whomever thought putting a corkscrew in a bottle of champagne was a good idea. :)

Yes it is dangerous. The pressure inside a Champagne bottle is about the same a bus tire.
You do not need a corkscrew.
Remove the foil and loosen the wire cage from the cork, grip the cork firmly in one hand, hold the bottle at a tilt pointing it away from people with your other hand at the base of the bottle and gently twist the BOTTLE not the cork,
Chill the bottle and don't shake it before opening.
For greater safety, hold a cloth over the neck and grip the cork through the cloth.
People lose their eyes every year through being hit with Champagne corks -- take care

i'm a former chef and function toured a champange bottling reserve (domicile), the 2nd and third respondants are in part precise, it somewhat is further after the 1st fermentation has been finished and the desgougment of the "plug" a yeast construct up in the neck of the bottle, they freeze it open it, releaes it and then (the 1st cap is nearly a soft drink bottle) they then upload a mild quantity of candy wine to sell the 2nd fermentation and then the mind-blowing cork in pressed in and the cord "cage" is further, this keeps the cork from exploding out, it somewhat is then enable to flow in the path of the 2nd fermentation have been it somewhat is "riddled" it somewhat is complete via rotating the bottle for six months on an perspective the different way up and then the bottles are labelled and the foil cap is positioned on and it somewhat is released on the industry, top type is elderly longer.

When you push down the arms it will draw the cork out. No it's not dangerous--it will pull the cork out slowly so it won't shoot across the room, if that's what you're worried about.

Pull it out. Just point it at the sliding glass door when you do pull.
