> Normal recumbents are also bloody dangerous

I've normally been saying the opposite. Been riding a (2 wheel) recumbent for 15 years or so. I'm pretty much never going to endo. My biggest risk is falling sideways and I'm low enough to the ground that it is natural to just put my leg down and catch myself. I even surprised myself when I caught myself when sliding on a sharp turn going fast. I can only think of one time I hit pavement (went into a slide with just minor scrapes to show). It had rained recently and my back tire slid out from underneath me during a turn.




That's precisely how I looked at it before I got snagged. It's very tricky: you feel safer, but you're not.
