"Simply foolproof" aka unsinkable.

"Safety first" ... if safety was the primary concern one wouldn't ever step into a helicopter. Speed and convenience come first.

I would enjoy reading the market studies for these micro helicopters. Weight is a huge issue. Exactly how fat can the passengers be?

If safety was the primary concern I'd lever leave home. I think if rigorous safety goals are set and meeting those goals comes before meeting any other performance or cost criteria, then I think it's reasonable to say that safety came first.
