It's the twisted grip that can be dangerous to your wrists, not the "forward" grip like in the Veena grip or the grip where both hands are in front. If you take a look at Aerial Amy's blog entry about SMs she has some photos of the grips:

I learned mine with the double forward grip and still do them that way a lot — a lot of people seem to hate it, but I really like it. I also like the added security of having 1 or 2 hands wrapped around the pole. Just be careful with a twisted grip SM… some people can do them without issue but others (myself included) it's not a safe grip for the wrist.
