No real risk as you can always flash to a different ROM (bricking a device usually takes some work). I usually check a few of them out to see which I like the best. If I don't find one I am particularly happy with I just build my own with the PPCGeeks kitchen. Works out very well.

Just try some out man, as blazingwolf said, these things dont brick just by looking at them wrong. I've only had mine a few weeks and I've tried almost every rom on it now and even made some of my own with the kitchen. It's not that hard to learn and after you try it some and see what everyone is desribing it starts to make more sense. I've had mine get stuck on the boot up pages a time or two, but if it does you just hold power/camera/soft reset and flash a rom from the bootloader screen. My fave rom so far is OMJ's custom, but there's a lot of good ones out there, and some of the others may be better suited for ya. Good luck, and dont be afraid to try some stuff out

im not scared to try it its just that my father bought this for me and if i brick i dont want to have a 200 dollar useless phone,so there is a chance but low?

see this
"WARNING: Attempting to downgrade after GPS (3.xx) upgrade can cause (at least as of now) bricking of devices (I have a dead mogul and vogue to prove it!) Also: titan GPS radio on vogue = bad idea"

this says it,because this unlocker says is for 2.31 and i got 3.42

It works just fine. I just upgraded my new Touch (well, new to me lol). No issues.
