Yes, some pilots are wreckless, but not the darn UL's.

So UL's are safe ???

Had an Uncle die in one out in Harrah quite a few years ago. He built it himself and, ironicly flew a 172 since he had his PPL. Heres the catch, 747 pilots with little experience behind the wheel of a 172 may bounce it down the runway when landing. Therefore, 172 pilots with little experience behind the wheel of a "kite" may become a lawn dart.

Are they risky ?

Nah....if there is ever a problem, you can just pull over and park it.
