They are great.  They are aircraft, and must be taken as seriously
as any other aircraft.

With respect to all the details, it depends on which model you are
flying.  I last flew an Eipper MXL, and the take off distance was very short.
My quess is a couple of hundred feet to clear 50'.

Safety depends on having the right safety equipment (parachutes),  and having
a "safe" attitude.
