[STAR WARS] How do Jedi use lightsabers without harming themselves?

I'm sure experienced Jedi are skilled enough not to, but we see kids using them in EP3.  By the time a Jedi is out of basic training, shouldn't they be missing a hand or two?

Early on in their training, they use practice sabers, sabers that can't actually cut a limb off. So they don't have to worry about cutting their arms off. They don't craft a true lightsaber until later on, near the end of their temple training.
