The lift fans seem like a good idea, but, I'd hate to be on board if one of
the covers failed and suddenly closed while in a hover.

Jet aircraft seem like a good idea too, but I'd hate to be in one, if the
engine failed, or the wing broke off, or the controls froze, or the landing
gear wouldn't come down properly, or..........

It's like anything else, it has to be properly designed so that the chances
of failing are minimal. Reliability isn't why lift fans didn't go into
production.
