Fail safe? Most definitely not.

I'm a gyrocopter fan, but their safety record is not fantastic. Among other traits is a significant sensitivity to negative G maneuvers, even mild ones.

Commercial AMEL Instrument rated here. I do hope to get my gyro rating at some point, but the safety statistics are definitely not comparable to fixed wing.
