We've never had any problems with ours shooting off. I think as long as you make sure nothing's going to spook it, like a cat (we make sure ours our in the house), then they should be ok.
As said above, stay close and put it in a big a place as possible. As long as they don't mind mind being picked up etc ...so you can grab them quickly if anything happens or they take a liking to a hedge lol, should be alright I think :)
Red and Mort are too busy investigating every pebble to even move quickly.

we have been taking 7 week old snakey out every evening other than after his feed. he has a cloth money bag courtesy of the local post office and spends his time in the bag, out the bag, up your sleeve....etc. he is very calm and after his initial bolt for freedom settles down well for up to an hour or so. i thought is best he get used to the goings on of our rather large family. he also ventures out of his hide of an evening now. peeking over his kitchen towel he seems to be a fan of holby city. i thought it best to take the 'carry on regardless' approach so he gets used to the sounds, smells and bussle of family life. i do hope this is correct. all seems well, good feeder and an easy shed early this week.
Longest time you've kept your corn snake out?
