I think the safeness of hybrids depends on the oxidizer, and whether or
not a chunk of rubbers clogs the exit to the nozzle.

A colleague of mine who worked for Amroc said their executive had a portable test stand which had a salami as the fuel grain and GOx for the oxidizer.
He fired the motor in an office environment then gave slices of the still hot salami to the observers to eat.
The point was that hybrids are safe and taste good too.

I got a giggle around the 5min mark when Joe started listing his
new goals, including a Starship/Superheavy model complete with
bellyflop recovery (I /called it/, back when he posted the
Christmas Tree video! Hah!), and "the meat rocket," which he was
coy about, but made me think of that one MythBusters episode where
they tried making a hybrid rocket using a salami and NO2.
