Typically, a 3" to 6" radius is specified in the installation instructions that I've seen.

What is the risk of having such a tight radius? Does it create excess stress on the pipe and fitting creating a larger risk of failure, or what?

Yes Mark, the flexible gas piping is very thin wall material and the bend radius should not be smaller than the manufacturer reccomends (printed on the tag in the picture), which is pretty much as Larry called it out.
