You can be fully "there", but also "here" at the same time. There will be no "bad trip". But there will be plenty of trips.
I say better results, because you can control which part of the Collective Unconscious you visit. You need a roadmap to do that, but with training, this is achieveable.
One last thing to add, I think, is that there are people who are born with this ability close to the surface. Travelling in that other world is not a particularly difficult transition. For these people it like falling in a swimming pool. Jung developed his own technique for doing exactly this; he called it "Active Imagination". But it's been around in one form or another for thousands upon thousands of years.
This! A thousand times!
