no, there should not be any danger. Also you can boot all other kernels already installed at your machine using the bootmenu. I described installing the latest kernel here http://www.doppelpop.de/2009/05/11/ubuntu-jaunty-jackalope-amd64-auf-thinkpad-t61-freeze/ . Please note that I installed the latest nvidia drivers in before (reboot after do so). I think this is a good idea as they have several fixes in too.
If you wanna go back, use `sudo dpkg -l|grep 2.6.30` to see all the new packages and remove them using dpkg.
