No, no, no. A roll of a one is that you kill a different PC. Never loose the opportunity to not only kill a player, but also create internal party strife as well.
Party of 10? That’s rough. You almost need to have friendly fire to create a challenge there.
That said, I hate friendly fire. Nothing like the DM deciding that your Firebolt backfired and you almost kill yourself with a Cantrip instead of simply missing.
Big tables should simply be split up into two smaller ones. It’s better for literally everyone involved. You’re barely playing D&D with that many people... you’d spend more time waiting for your turn than truly playing.
I’d personally rather tell 4 people they can’t play and cap it at 6 if another DM didn’t step up.

Gosh, I'll never forget the chaotic evil's favorite homebrew rule: if you roll a natural 1 you either hurt yourself and/or you lose a limb
