It's hard to say for sure since there's only five frames of video post-impact, but it looks like those fragments are slowing down really fast. In the first couple of frames they're moving faster than the bullet was, but in the last couple they barely move at all. It seems possible that they're only dangerous within a foot or two of the impact point, which seems like a very acceptable trade-off for the benefits.

Even if I'm wrong, unless it catches somebody in the eye, I don't think those little fragments could do worse than a flesh wound.
