So Coinbase is risky to keep btc in then? I have my btc in their wallet.

It doesn't really matter what kind of exchange or wallet service you are using to store your coins in. In all cases you don't own what you actually have as the exchange or wallet service has full control over your coins. Coinbase is well insured against thefts and all that, but even while knowing that, I would never store my coins at any place beside offline where I have full control over every Satoshi that I own.
