If something is low-risk, it is likely to be safe, or at least not likely to go badly wrong. Doctors call a simple operation low-risk when serious problems are rare. Money people call an investment low-risk when you are not likely to lose a lot — though you also usually will not win a lot. Schools, travel, and hobbies get the same label: a low-risk activity is one where trouble is not expected.
