I do risky fun things too, but I don't go around telling people its safe.

The Aptera has some serious safety issues other than weight. Composites tend to splinter into razor sharp shards after a heavy impact. Having 3 wheels it is less stable. The choice of lithium Ion batteries poses a serious fire risk (if you have ever seen one of these batteries go you know what I'm talking about)
