I believe the answer is:

accident prone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be more likely to get hurt' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fancy connected pair' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'connected'+'pair'='connectedpair'
'connectedpair' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCIDENT-PRONE'.

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for accident prone that I've seen before include "clumsy?" , "Tending to have mishaps" , "likely to make a slip" , "With a Tendency to suffer misfortune" , "likely to crash?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
