People that don't actually live in these areas don't seem to appreciate that tornadoes don't sneak up on you or drop out of the sky fast as lightning. If shits about to go crazy, there is a very notable build up to it. Seeing as how most people stand out and watch these things in a yard or something, not in the middle of a field, they're always at least within 10-30 seconds of shelter.
It really is not that perilous. It's effectively the same thing as fucking around on train tracks. No, it's technically not safe or smart, but the danger is very telegraphed 9/10 times and it's avoided with such ease that the overwhelming majority of people that have ever done it are alive and well.
