Magic carpets are generally safe. It's hard to fall and get hurt unless you're stupid.
If it's you doing the #levitation magic, it helps to focus on an object underneath you, like a carpet, a broom or whatever. Balancing on it is sitting on a pool floatie. If you got yourself up in the air and lose the carpet somehow, you probably have enough flying skill to land safely without one. Now, if you fly 2-3 km up and lose consciousness from lack of oxygen, you're cooked, but that's your own fault.
If you aren't magical and the carpet itself doing all the work, then the carpet is your mount, like a horse. Well-trained mounts can feel the rider's weight shift around and try to keep you seated. Just don't make the carpet angry, or it might buck you off.
