if its full on carbon, not just sheeting, then if he was in a frontal impact, i suspect he would not escape death

How can it be unsafe? I thought Carbon fibre was stronger than the original steel panels?
Looks cool as :-)

cars are designed to crumple and fold to protect the occupants, it absorbs all the energy. If that is not absorbed, the occupants will each recieve a few hundred kilos per square cm force into their bodies.

Yes, however, you'll find the vast majority of this force is absorbed by the front chassis members, Slam panel and front crash bar. The Actuall bonnet, and wings absorb very little.
CF can however be designed to incorperate decent crush properties, hence why Mclaren F1's, and Formula one Chassis are made of Carbon fibre .
