Is Maglev safe?

Yes. Maglev is considered to be a very safe mode of high-speed ground transportation. The vehicle is designed to wrap around the guideway and therefore cannot be derailed. Only the section of the Guideway occupied by the vehicle is electrified, precluding the possibility of two or more vehicles entering the same space. In case of power failures on board, batteries allow the train to remain levitated so it can be pushed to the nearest station or an evacuation point on the guideway. The technology being considered for this corridor has been certified as safe by the FRA. There are no intersections with any other traffic.
