I could be wrong, but I bet if you brushed bare skin against those spines you would soon regret it.
I brushed against a plain il brown one in the garden one day and started to get pretty severe reactions very quickly. Severe enough I was thinking about how far and time needed to get to a hospital and over the next 30 minutes or so the symptoms lessened.
Brightly colored and with those spines I am thinking "LOOK OUT/DANGER"
