I always thought LiPo was supposed to be more robust that LiIon 😢

Obviously not!

Where does LiFePo4 stand in this I wonder?

Seems to be safer.

Petrol isn't especially great either, yet we seem to be quite happy hurtling around at great speeds with litres of the stuff under our bottoms in plastic containers...... I expect YouTube has plenty of footage of petrol fires too.....

& don't forget what leaking lead acid will allegedly do to your harnesses & ropes. Frankly, I'd be surprised if any of us last another day; we're clearly all doomed.

I used a LiPo (a decent sized one too, 5.7AH, 11.1v), underground, for ages. I never ended up running around, screaming "I'm on fire!".

As with anything, it's mitigating risk. It was padded, inside an ABS waterproof box. I only stopped using it as it was bulky as I had it, and I can source plenty of 18650's at sane prices now.

You're far more likely to set a 18650 off with a **** charger that doesn't know when to stop to be honest.

Protection electronics are there to prevent this, overcharge and overdischarge

Indeed, but I've encountered *many* packs that have no protection at all (Not any of Yours I hasten to add). And people will insist on using naff chargers. MY packs are "bare", but the Driver I use stops over-discharge, and my charger is a decent one (iMax B6), so cuts off at the correct point.
