I don't think it is dangerous at all, that is the same way I cut everything that I need to cut into cubes. by the way I have discovered that chewing gum while cutting onions eliminates the tearing, I think chewing gum is vulgar but I make sure that I keep gum in the kitchen just for when I'm cutting onions. =) try it sometime.
