Most stargates have "D.H.D (Dialing Home Device), but some like S.G.C has a control room where gatetravel is recorded. "Stargate" Russia's "D.H.D" and thats when "Teal'c" is trapped in the memory of the "Stargate". It's like a computer storing data and that's dangerous because any offworld or any incoming wormhole travels to the person will not materialize. Another idea would be "Naquada" exposure which cause radiation. the "Iris" is another whole meaning, The "Iris" is like a shield to block unidentified gatetravel. It kills anyone 10 of a micrometers away from the "Iris". It also blocks some radiation "Chain Reaction".
