I have only seen one BD-5,(in a museum), and never seen a Cricri.
I'm also not familiar with the details of the safety record for
either But based only on a casual perusal of material available on the
internet I would speculate that more Cri-cris have been safely flown in a
single day than there have been BD 5s flown, ever.

I can only give you one data point. I have only seen exactly two Cri-cris
fly, and one of them crashed in front of my eyes. I have seen several BD-5s
fly (all jets as it turns out) and none crashed. At least, not while I was
watching.
