Almost a year of use, totally uncountable falls and UPD's, and no
problems for me. Im not worried about it at all.

It used to scrape my leg on forward dismounts; when I trimmed it a
little (about 1/2 an inch?) that problem stopped. I think that it's no
more dangerous than falls than a pedal. Probably less so.

Having an end cap on it is the right thing to do.

The worst problem I have with my handle is on simple forward dimounts
where I land on my feet. Occasionally, the end of the handle hits my
left Achilles tendon. Ouch.

Get a tennis ball, cut a 3/4 inch diameter hole in it and slide it over
the end of the handle.
