Yes, it is good to take a closer look, no you will not kill anybody.
ABS is a safety feature that one does not have to think that it is there or
not, but if it is there one can behave differently than if it is not. The
ABS light being on means the feature is inactive, and the rest of the
braking system can be relied upon to work properly. ABS prevents wheel lock
in an emergency, if the ABS light is on, then the wheels can lock in the
emergency, and you should be aware that this will happen.

Re: 96 grand cherokee abs light
It is interesting to note that there is no evidence that ABS systems reduce
traffic fatalities.
Initial studies even showed an increase in fatal crashes in ABS equipped
vehicles.
http://www.iihs.org/news_releases/1996/pr121096.htm
Later studies reported no increased fatalities, but no decrease in
collisions
http://www.iihs.org/srpdfs/sr3504.pdf
"Despite impressive test track performance, the on-the-road safety benefits
of car antilocks are disappointing. They haven't cut the frequency or cost
of crashes resulting in insurance claims for vehicle damage. Studies by the
government, Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and automakers find that
cars with antilocks are in more single-vehicle crashes than cars with
conventional brakes."
