Gotta take the plug out before you put your hands in there even if turned off.

If you loosen it enough to turn the cap and the whole thing falls apart, you have bigger problems.

Cyclist Killed On Cedar Bluff Road
A Knoxville cyclist was run over by a monster truck yesterday afternoon. A witness said he was frantically trying to correct his steering wheel seconds before impact. The cause of the bicycle malfunction was not immediately known.
The truck driver was not cited.

Just slapped my 2022 tires on the Cervelo. I took a cut to my front tire yesterday and decided to retire the Michelin and move on to the Pirelli. Went on happy slappy - just hands and a floor pump to get 'em mounted and seated. Didn't even take long enough to finish my bike maintenance beer - hurrumph.
