Certainly there is the danger of unexpected death, but many venomous snakes are not generally capable of delivering a fatal bite to a healthy adult. There are unpleasant exceptions--talk of copperhead deaths in the past few months. The big concern even for "mildly" venomous snakes is often to make sure that tissue damage is minimized. A copperhead that cannot usually kill a healthy adult certainly can cause that healthy adult to lose some tissue, mobility, even a finger.
