Although actively lethal seems like a bit of a stretch, I agree with the rest of your post. It seems that Bucky Fuller's greatest accomplishment was the geodesic dome, and even that was a result of his popularization of the dome, rather than its invention. A pity really, as I was somewhat excited be able to read a work entitled "everything I know" by someone whom I assumed was worth reading.

The Dymaxion car had three wheels, two at the front, with rear-wheel steering and the engine mounted at the back.

Imagine a car with the dynamic qualities of a Reliant Robin. Driven backwards.

Unsurprisingly, the car rolled over at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, killing the driver and severely injuring two passengers.
