1N4007 is a 1000V / 1A (average) diode. The chances of it shorting while conducting...what is it again it is conducting? under a 100mA? and rectifying some 14% of its Vr? - the chances are not huge.
I love this one, BTW - one of the best most usable rectifier diodes made.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
