how is it risky, lol.
How cool do you need it? Room temp should be fine, I would invest in proper chillers. A fan falling into the tank would be a nice electric bath for your axolotl.
Well, since room temp is 72+, I don't think that would be a good idea seeing as axis need under 72 and thrive around 55. The fans take water temp from 72 to about 64-65. I don't think there is much risk of the fans falling through a screen top 
Edit: as far as chillers go, if you want to buy me a $200 unit, cool! I haven't been able to find an affordable one. I'd be willing to pay around $100 maybe, but for now, my $12 fan setup works perfectly.

You say this now until one day a cat or something jumps on top of your tank. Learned from past experience that screen tops DO NOT hold a big cat. Invest in a proper aquarium chiller or else have it secured above the tank would be safer.

Don't worry ... I don't think I'm at risk for that.
Anyway, as far as the chiller, refer to my prior post.
Then again, your securing above tank idea is mentionable. I may just suspend them.
