Default Volocopter - safest aircraft in the world

Let's start with the safest aircraft in the world statement. I'm sorry but that's quite a claim without data or previous history. All aircraft these days are the safest in the world until a person gets behind the controls. What exactly makes this the safest? I operate some aircraft with up to 8 layers of system redundancy and millions of uneventful hours on the airframe - way more than any ga - but somehow this one is the safest? I'm waiting for the late night infomercial. Claims like this are simply ridiculous.

With that said, I love following developments in aviation and can appreciate qualities in everything out there.
