When mooring a boat, I want to know what the biggest risk is that I should be aware of. Is it colliding with other boats, damaging the dock, or something else entirely?

When the rope or wire snaps, it can move rapidly and unexpectedly towards the vessel.

This occurs due to the failure of the rope or wire used in the mooring process.

The force and speed of this snapping motion can cause severe damage to the vessel and any personnel nearby.
