Hmm. I'd say they're quite a bit safer than a moto. Larger, more visible, seating that will hold you in place in minor impacts, some front/rear impact absorption, a little side impact protection, and more forgiving of minor driver lapses. Bikes are simply an accident waiting for an opportunity, and only 100% rider attention and 100% luck with other drivers keeps that accident from happening - and sometimes not even that.
Not disputing, though, that "safe" is not a word that applies to these silly overpowered roller skates.
