Others have pointed out the reasons to be cautious - but, if we assume you know what you're doing with the batteries...
... I have to say that I constantly see people not give much thought to their jumper cables or how well those cables are attached. So I'd start there.
If the dead starter doesn't kick right over - (and you have no reason to believe it's faulty) you're most likely doing something wrong with the cables.
