the potential for an accident is always there regardless of if you are drafting. i figure... if something is in the big rig's path, it will probably plow through it(unless it's another big rig).
people also argue that the trucks can stop abruptly but its highly unlikely that they could slow down faster than whatever you are driving(passenger vehicles)
i once made a 92mile round trip drafting and achieved 46mpg (calculated), whereas my average mpg is around the mid to high 30s.
in CA the big rig drivers go through A LOT of PAID training to get their license which includes behind the wheel.
the risk is on you.
