"Do the wacky"
I don't see why he couldn't "do the wacky". As long as all the "wacky"ing parts worked.
As for safety - Well, I always assumed that some amount of conscious effort had to go into all of his super feats - flying, super strength, heat vision, etc.
It appears that he needs to concentrate, and occassionally he appears to struggle when he's doing super stuff - see DC "contemplative/concentrating face" :p
Besides, it's easier to imagine that than him having to consciously control himself all of the time instead of the 10% of time he's being "super".
So when he's "do(ing) the wacky" his conscious attention would be directed elsewhere - i.e. on the "wacky" and he wouldn't inadvertantly hurt Lois... although, his reflexes seem to be super, so perhaps during his moment of glory - a reflex in and of itself - he's a little more potent than the average male.
It would depend on the level of simultaneous parasympathetic stimulation and sympathetic stimulation at the point of... glory. Though, parasympathetic stimulation is dominant at that point - believed to be what triggers that point actually, and it is the "rest and digest" side of the autonomic nervous system, so who knows...
yes, I'll shut up now
