Autogyros are not quite as safe as fixed wing aircraft for various reasons:
They in pusher configuration do not have as much "structure" in front or to the sides to absorb impact.
They do not have as simple of a "wing" structure, many more points of failure and increased stress.
They can auto rotate, but when the disc is unloaded they often have tail strikes and self destruct.
But flown properly and maintained well, they do offer some amazingly capable flight experiences.
