Which is safer - a kayak or a pedalo?
Which is safer - a pedal boat or a kayak? Is a pedal boat safe? Can it tip over? Are there frequent accidents or drownings on kayaks and pedal boats?

In my opinion, a water bike is safer, because it has a much more stable structure, thanks to which they are considered unsinkable.
Kayaks, although they are also made of durable materials, such as pedal boats, are definitely more shaky. They are recommended for people with a little more experience on the water.
A pedal boat is safer, because it is more stable and it is difficult to fall out of it. Of course, it is known that some people go crazy on these bikes because they jump into the water, get back in and throw each other off.
The kayak is generally a little less stable. When you have a difficult route to sail, something can happen. I swam a few times, mostly on canoeing trips in Warsaw. It is true that I did not fall down and did not overturn the kayak, but they are a little less safe.
