What the below messages tell me is that 'coupes are no safer than any other plane; they have their weak spot, namely such a high landing speed (and lack of rudder authority on 3-control models) that landing accidents are higher than many other aircraft. Maybe all coupe models ought to have a roll bar to keep the cockpit intact. It would also be a great place to attach a shoulder harness.
