Respectfully, I'd rather the government not capriciously ban everything
that's considered 'dangerous'. Like seat belt and helmet laws, let
natural selection take place. If people want to buy a vehicle with as
poor a failure mode as this, then let them make that decision. The
ultralight provision goes far enough to create a legal safety barrier
to protect the fine folks of downtown New York (congestion) from
falling air scooters.

My only capitulation to the regs here would be to make sure the company
informs purchasers as to the risk so they can make an informed
decision. Other then that... the FAA has enough fingers in the pie
already, don't let them walk off with the whole dish.
