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.

His capacity for tunnel vision is a worrying aspect of his personality and he had asked the island to give him a sign - so he would have put his faith in it that it was leading him down the right path for both him and Boone at the time. This shattered when he saw that the plane was filled with heroin and it was at that point that Locke tried to get Boone to come down.
