Please dont ever tell anyone that there isnt a risk involved with rooting their phone. While the risk may not be that great, there is always risk involved. It it was all "shiny stars and glitter" there wouldnt be a need to back up the phone prior to the flash except to return it to factory default.
Users looking to root should have some idea of what it means and what is is to root as well as why they wish to root. Just rooting to be hip or cool is kinda pointless if you dont know what to do once you get there. Its like taking a road trip. While you dont need to know where you are going, it usually works out better if you have a general destination in mind.

I'm not assuming its the same way, and absolutely not saying its the 1 click process, but the general idea of rooting an android is quite similar is what i'm saying. there are steps to rooting a phone of course, and the sprint Hero was just recently released, they will discover a way to root it, VERY soon.
There is a risk, but its so insignificant it shouldn't even be claimed as one. Something called Nandroid back up, that if you ever brick your phone, you can return it to normal, therefore you really can't brick it. Well yeah obviously you can't just root an android phone and do nothing with it. Rooting an android phone means purpose to that. Once an android is rooted, so many doors open to what it can really do and how amazing it really is. Custom build roms are far better and more efficient than any official released rom. Developers take what the official rom contain and expand on that.
And honestly it doesnt take a rocket science to root a phone, there will always be step by step instructions for the real noobies to have what the geeks have, a pretty fly android phone.
