dumbells? the ones you hold in each hand? how do you do them?
I think the barbell squat would pose more danger and would require a squat rack...

Is that what you're talking about? I can't see how DB's would be dangerous unless you have injuries...

This is the dangerous squat, better for development, but I wouldn't comprimise personal safety (These need a power/squat rack unless you're brave)
