Yes, you generally crash to the side instead of going over the handlebars but you can get seriously hurt on a recumbent just like a regular bike. If you happen to fall into the path of traffic the recumbent makes no difference. Those of us who mostly ride trikes are really closer to the ground and much less likely to crash if we were to experience a dizzy spell. There is also the problem of cost. It turns off most people who express an interest. A guy was looking over my Catrike 700 this morning as I got back on it and when he asked about the cost, there was an instant loss of interest following my answer.

Edit: Saw your reply as I was composing this. Ever tried one or are you just opinionated?
