A professionally installed freestanding tub that isn’t wobbly is not much more dangerous for a regular person than a standard bathtub. However, there are some specific hazards that a traditional bathtub doesn’t have.

To begin with, because of their specific design, some freestanding bathtubs are deeper than regular tubs. It depends on the style of your freestanding tub.

Another issue is that because of the positioning, a freestanding bathtub can splash more, which is a hazard by itself.

Another placement issue is that you typically wouldn't place a grab bar near a freestanding tub, which can be crucial for accessibility.

And of course, it all comes down to the installation and how well the tub is secured. A poorly secured bathtub can wobble or even tilt, which is extremely dangerous. With proper installation, this risk is minimized.
