We wouldn’t say it’s a huge risk, and many people do not use them. It’s just an extra precaution to avoid a disaster on the road. The latch on the hood interfaces with your factory latch receiver, but it’s not made by the car manufacturer so it’s not necessarily an OE latch. I personally would put the pins on just to be extra sure the hood never flys up while driving, but I’ve seen countless people not use pins and be just fine.
