How dangerous is it to fall 3 meters when lead climbing?

Consider a vertical rock face with clip-ins 3 meters apart, dynamic rope, no more than 15 meters ascent.

I guess most probable and dangerous is to fall just as one is clipping in. This way the rope is overextended, plus one i holding with only one hand.

How dangerous is it for a for a beginner climber to fall? What protection equipment should be used. What training exercises should be completed beforehand?
