And also, not everything in Locke’s vision came true and some of it was symbolic; such as his mother standing in the middle of the jungle pointing up to the plane. Why would he have thought that Boone covered in blood wasn’t symbolic?

I think this is so important. He was experiencing a vision, probably unlike anything he's ever seen before. Although it make have seemed disturbing that Boone appeared in it, battered and bloody, I don't think he necessarily took it as a premonition because he saw his mother too and that didn't mean she was on the Island. So, I don't think Locke would automatically think that Boone would definately be hurt.
I voted He took a risk, because I guess he must have thought injury may be possible but it think he was so determined to follow 'signs' that it would have been a risk worth taking at that time. In hindsight he perhaps realises the risk was too great.
