Since never been on either type, I would think a trike would safer because most of the weight is in the back, the can am all the weight is in the front.
I'm comparing my thoughts with my pick up truck. I have a chevey Colorado with a 5 ft bed, it has truck tires. I have no cap on the bed. All the weight is up front. In rain if i have to hard brake the rear fish tails. I put 100 lbs of sand bags behind each of the wheel wells to give the bed extra weight, it helps somewhat.
Based on my experance with a light weight rear end truck, is why I think a trike is safer than a can am, just my thoughts.
