I am 5 weeks old and like to sleep in my boppy, swing, carseat, mommies chest, etc.... When I do this I can pass the gas while sleeping and not wake up screaming.

That's great little buddy, wish some of us old guys could get away with it that easy. Just remember the first time you leave a streak on Mommy's chest it's bye bye to that spot. My son (Stinky) and daughter (Tooter) did the same thing. If my wife carried either one of them and they "let one rip" people would look at her smile, grin or laugh. If I was carrying one and they "passed wind" people looked right at ME, scowled and walked away. Both my kids turned out great, one a MD and the other a PhD.

No, it won't hurt you, and it's good that you have found a way to relieve that gas, but you don't want to get into any habits either. I would think that eventually you would want to sleep in a crib of some sort and if you get too used to sleeping in a bouncy and with mommy it might be hard to transition. Maybe you just need to ask your mommy and daddy to burp you better while feeding.

As long as she has proper air flow and is resting soundly its okay.
Colicy babies tend to sleep best in a car seat or in a swing. Although its been linked to SIDS, but I think that data is wrong.
You can actually tilt the crib mattress up by putting a folded towel under it, which will help keep her head a little higher than her bottom. EVER so little a bit, you dont want her rocketing down a slope.
