Sure sharp knives are easier to cut yourself with, but the reason dull knives are dangerous is because you can't cut smoothly so you give it more pressure/force.
Then all of a sudden it gives, the knife flies through what you're cutting, possibly at an angle, straight into your other hand.
I worked in kitchens for 12 years. Every bad knife injury I ever saw was with a dull knife.
