A clutch is used as a temporary disconnection between the engine and the rest of the transmission components. The clutch on a vehicle allows the engine power to be connected to the wheels without an abrupt contact between moving and stationary gears. Automatic transmissions use fluid pressure and various driving bands to transfer power (and change gears) in a similarly smooth fashion.

Is it dangerous when clutch slips?

It depends on your definition of "dangerous. There is inherent danger two ways. If the clutch does not engage enough to move the vehicle out of the way of a dangerous situation (impending collusion) and the situation develops, you could be injured or killed. Most likely the clutch will get worse and worse until the vehicle can not be driven (unless you coast down hill or have someone push you). As the clutch disk wears beyond a certain point the pressure plate and flywheel sustain damage also. A new clutch release bearing should be installed when the clutch is repaired.
