Besides tripping over a wire, or having it poke you in the eye, wires aren't really hazardous, regardless of how long they are.
If a wire is charged to a high electrical potential, then it can be hazardous, but you didn't mention that in your question.

∙ 11y agoAn electrical cord is not dangerous if the internal wires insulation is intact. It is when the internal wire's insulation is damaged and the inner bare conductor is exposed is when the cord becomes dangerous. Human contact with the exposed bare conductor can cause a person a shock, if the person is grounded on another part of their body.
