There’s a technique for removing the pit that involves lodging the blade of your knife in it before twisting it out. Maybe that’s why?

That’s the way I’ve always done it, the way I was taught to when I worked in kitchens. I’ve never cut myself because if you keep your knife sharp it doesn’t take much effort and the blade is easier to control. If your knife isn’t sharp you have to use more force and it can slide off the pit.
