I've flown em. safer than your average GA aircraft. you really have to try to hurt yourself in one............. although, as long as people are in the air, some will manage to fall from it, regardless of the safety measures put in place.
I might add that the majority of the people that fly this type of aircraft are from the recreational type of flying background and have minimal flying time and a completely different training environment than that of the GA industry. could be a pilot thing and not an aircraft thing. I managed to fly several of these machines before I truly understood aerodynamics or even what the term AoA was............ glad I learned about it in real aeroplane school before I got kilt.
