There's nothing in this video that indicates ultralights are dangerous.
Pilot error takes out all kinds of aircraft and their passengers. If
that guy had been paying attention and not "flying the engine" he would
have been fine. I would rather be in a well-designed ultralight than a
larger single-engine aircraft anyday, if the engine went out.
(and yes, I realize the chances of an engine-out are much, much
higher in an ultralight. I can survive after landing a Moyes Dragonfly
in a suburban backyard, probably uninjured. I do not think I would fare as
well in a Cessna.)
