They may and a lot depends upon the concentration of the starting materials. A reactive chemical event could cause toxic gase formation, an exothermic reaction leading to splash, fire or explosion. If they are starting with very dilute solutions the potential is less, but I would not recommend it-the potential for a negative reaction to occur is too great. Keep in mind that most people are not chemists and they are not necessarily wearing the proper personal protective equipment (some people might) when mixing things. How many people would put on rubber gloves, aprons, and very importantly, splash goggles in case something goes wrong? Rule of thumb, never mix an acid with a base.
