The roller should be pressed so that it just slips when you accelerate hard from standstill, but then doesn't slip when in use.

Is this potential to slip not a bit dangerous? I would feel a lot safer knowing it wouldn't slip no matter what I done to it...

Nope, why would it be dangerous?

One of the spinnervals DVD's I use, repeatly do intervals standing up at high cadence. I need to be confident when going up on the peddles that their is no slip between the wheel and roller.

But the roller is smooth metal. If you wang the pressure up to the point there is no chance of slip then that's going to cause a lot of deformation of the tube / tyre and strain on the rim and won't make for a smooth pedalling motion. I'm only talking about slight slips, and I've never had a real problem with any intervals I've done.

D74 What you says makes sense. I've only had mty turbo since christmas, I think its the same as taking corners at speed, you gain confidence with experience.
