The low center of gravity of the hull-based design makes it improbable that the ME-1A will become inverted when upset on the water, and able to withstand higher sea states. Over 50% of the fatalities in floatplanes are a result of the aircraft becoming inverted with the cabin underwater on upset. As the hull must be designed with the strength to withstand the impact of water and waves, it inherently provides more protection to the occupants than a typical land airplane in the event of an accident.
