According to their website:

"Uncompromised Safety: Elio is engineered to the highest safety standards. Each Elio comes equipped with a Safety Management System that includes three airbags – a unibody frame, Anti-Lock Braking System, and 50% larger crush zones than similar vehicles". Sounds better than a motorcycle to some degree.
