I knew a guy who died in one.... The main rotor took out the tail due to turblulance or an abrupt control input at which time the d@mn thing became a brick. I am a mechanical engineer, an A&P/IA, a experimental aircraft homebuilder and most who know me personally consider me a daredevil.... I would never consider owning one (I feel nearly the same about homebuilt helicopters). I do however feel perfectly safe in small light fixed wing aircraft provided I am flying over flat terrain in daylight VFR conditions. To each their own, but I don't like them nor do I care for powered parachutes.
