If you respond by cutting your hair out of a rack with a knife, then it is a very real possibility of cutting the rope and that gets you back on the list of 52 ways to die in a cave.
The times when I knife is a solution to a problem in vertical caving is very rare. You can almost always find a technical solution using the tools you have on you - most importantly - your experience and your brain.
