Hmmm.
The advantages of LiPo's are numerous, but safety isn't one of them. I've seen more LiPo's explode compared to the standard Sub-C cells. And they explode a lot more violently. I personally have never seen a Sub-C cell "explode". I've seen them fail and melt or vent, but never explode.
I've seen LiPo's explode two times in RC airplanes and two times while charging : it wasn't pretty. The planes desintegrated in mid air in a large ball of fire. The charging cells created an impressive and intense fireball.
