(Generally not something that happens with iOS updates, even if something goes wrong, since you can almost always recover in one way or another.)
It doesn't brick your device or do anything bad. If you do it wrong, you just have to revert to iOS 6. We can't really discuss the steps of how to do it here, but just go on YouTube or Google and look it up.

I am running ios 6.1.4 atm.i reg my udid to get beta but i am scary of bricking,so i won't do it.i just wanna know what brick really mean ? Tnx
It means that your device doesn't respond to anything and no longer works no matter what you try to do. Loading the iOS 7 beta will not brick your phone.
They never said that. If you load it without having a registered UDID, you get a screen telling you to register. That's all. All you have to do is restore back to iOS 6. Apple cannot deliberately brick your phone just because you try to load developer software.
And btw there was 1 post from someone who said that his iphone 5 is unusable after 2-3 days ise of ios 7 beta and he can't do nothing with the phone?it is blank and can't go dfu, recovery,nothing ...

No, it won't be bricked whether you're a registered developer or not. It's just that you need a registered UDID to actually use iOS 7. The post you're describing was a bug which I haven't seen anyone mention since beta 2 or 3.
No it might of happen in beta 1 or something beta 5 is stable now so nothing will happen
Or something happened with his phone not necessarily related to iOS 7...like random things that happen to different people's iPhones (and other phones or electronics) in general from time to time.
So people honestly did u suggest me to go on ios 7 beta 5? I am not developer but i am reg udid....?no money atm
It's you choice but if something does go wrong like a bug then don't complain here. But I say go for it seems stable enough
Everybody, this guy is just trolling you, he is saying over and over that he has no money, yet owns an iPhone 5 and wants iOS 7 and you keep answering him... come on!!!!

He said he got it as a gift from his cousins if you read above.
