Following a tinyurl carries the risk that you have no means of knowing

If that really worries you, use the otherwise equivalent
www.makeashorterlink.com. This begins by telling you where you are going
to be directed to, and gives you time to cancel.

So does tinyurl actually, if you use the "preview feature" on the home page.
