I can't speak about gel batteries, but jumping 12-volt to 6-volt with lead/acid batteries has been done safely without damage for as long as we've had 6 and 12 volt cars. Two important points; observe polarity, and maintain the connection for the shortest possible time and certainly no more than 10 seconds and allow a cool-down between attempts if a repeat attempt is needed. More attempts than that and you'll risk stressing your starter motor.
