Usually the people who end up getting hurt are the ones who play Assassin's Creed and watch a few tutorial videos, practice a few rolls, and think they can try the advanced stuff.
Except the advanced stuff takes well over a year to learn. You get too ballsy, and you end up on World's Dumbest Nutbusters 1 through 15.
Takes a lot of mental focus, physical fitness, and awareness of your environment to master it. I've only been practicing it for a few months, myself. Still working on forward-movement efficiency.
It's only a good way to get hurt if you think it will be. Half of the entire exercise is not seeing obstacles as obstacles, but instead seeing them as a destination that is a means to your next destination.
Sure, it's risky even for masters of the sport. But it's exhilarating. You feel like the world is simply a playground designed entirely for you to fuck around in. It might as well be.
The video isn't showing up. You'll wanna just take the raw link and use the youtube tag provided by the forum, it's a lot easier to deal with.
