So maybe I'm completely wrong about this or the risk is very low or largely theoretical - still I'm paranoid. (This includes never continuing when the game auto reloads after death.) However I notice that Gopher, for example, never does this and it doesn't seem to have harmed his saves in his latest Lets Play series. If doing anything other than testing I always exit out of the game completely before loading up a session I intend to save and continue with.

I don't think it corrupts them every time but just that it has the possibility to do so. My saves are still working (as I crouch behind a mammoth).I can't remember where I first read about this danger and certainly don't have more than an intuitive sense of why it might be dangerous. Not sure about it corrupting the save, however, as it is the exact same information (I think?), just being loaded a second time. Never heard of this, albeit that definitely would explain why it would work.

Is this safe? I thought there was a chance your save will become corrupted if you exit to the main menu and then load it again without exiting the game fully as Skyrim does not flush it's memory completely just by going to the main menu.
