Lots of coulds and probablies. Any solid statistics on the number of fifth wheels on the road and how many end up in fatal accidents? How many people have been killed riding in a fifth wheel versus a motorhome? I've seen some accidents where it didn't matter if there were seatbelts, airbags or roll cages.
We live in a world of over security, where people spend all their time worrying about whether something is safe. Does it have belts, does it have a warning, does it have a whistle or a bell, does it meet some silly standard set by a company and lobbyists who want to make a buck. I truly don't see how people make it through the day sometimes.
When its time its time. If it is legal in certain states it must be legal for a reason. If some ride well, and they have a way to communicate, go for it. Life is too short to worry about it. All this talk makes me want to try it.
