The problem with putting your hands behind your back is that you defeat the real purpose of the GD. That is to get a rock solid lock-in on every pitch, placing your head at the same height each and every pitch. BigUmp is correct, putting your hands behind your back makes it a very good possibility that you might drift up and down with your head.
As to the safety of your hands, I have not ever got hit in the hands using the GD. If you are worried about that, you could slide your hands around the side of your knees, leaving only your thumbs exposed. I have not seen anyone do this, but I assume it works.
