In fact, I think you have more of a chance causing a short disconnecting/reconnecting the battery from the trunk.
To each their own.

The risk lies with the spanner on the jumper stud. When in contact, the entire spanner is conductive and a potential short path.
You'll have to clarify how removing the negative battery lead in the trunk risks a short?
