It is very possible to injure yourself with calisthenics. Shoulder impingement or tendinitis from pullups with too much intensity/bad form for example. Weight is weight.

Ugh, tendonitis recovery is so slow and annoying in middle age. I had to stop training pull-ups for the best part of a year. Starting again now, but easing in gently as I'm very motivated to not have that again. I'm 220lb/100kg so even if strong enough that's a lot of weight on unadapted tendons.
