Also, never blindly root your own device. Do all the research INCLUDING a plan to restore from a backup incase there are problems. That said, even an Apple OS upgrade can brick a device if connectivity or power is lost during the update. In most cases, these are soft-bricks, so there is still a recovery path. The key, as you said, is to be a "responsible geek".
