Is it safe to do this?

From what I understand, it depends on what the pressure cooker is made out of, as some might have ceramic or other bits that do not handle thermal shock well. Check your manufacturer recommendations.
If it's all metal, then what should happen as you cool it down is it should only reduce the interior pressure back to atmospheric pressure or maybe slightly less before finally equalizing. Since the cooker's designed to handle pressure in the first place, this should not pose a problem unless you've seriously screwed up somewhere along the lines.

could warp the pan over time and pose a seal issue but unlikely a catastrophic one unless extremely poor build quality

you ever heard of the boston marathon?

Why would you need water running over your pressure cooker though? If you're doing things properly then you don't need the water, and if you're at the point you need to constantly try and cool it how is that not a clear indication to scrap things and try again another time? "Cook by feel" is great and all but this seems like a basic misunderstanding of HOW to cook.

I'm fucking terrified of using these things.

They're very safe.

There's no reason to use a dangerous first generation pressure cooker like that now that we have 4th generation pressure cookers

99% of the time it's safe but I like to only do things with pressure cookers that are 100% safe instead.
Modern ones are very safe in general but you should still treat them with some respect.

yes, its the safest method, just avoid moving the pan immediately from heat to the water, let it rest for a minute

No its not safe to do. The aluminum will warp eventually resulting in an explosion. You want to leave it on the stove and let the cooker and stove cool together. You can use one of those instant pots if the time to cool is an issue.

Many recipes call for you to quickly relieve the pressure by cooling it with water.

cooking 101
do not pour cold water over hot cookware

mine has an adjustable pressure release valve
I dont want all that steam in my kitchen though, so I just let it sit for 10-15 minutes

if you really must, go ahead and save those 10-15 minutes

Just get an Instant Pot. They're basically idiot proof.

There are a lot of personal injury lawsuits over these. Lots of burn injuries due to defective products.
