I wouldn't worry too much about damaging your pi, but the low level
coding and debugging involved in dealing with bare metal is quite
tedious even if you're already a fluent programmer.  From a learning
perspective I think it's better to start under an OS.  And if you do
want to program bare metal, it's better to start out with something like
an Arduino or the original MSP430G2553 Launchpad.  A Raspberry Pi is
monstrously complicated by comparison.

Before trying to walk across a carpet, it might seem logical to develop
one's balancing skills by starting out on a tightrope, but in practice
most people find it easier to master the carpet before approaching the
tightrope ;-).
