Don't ride a bike if safety is your big issue. Don't ski, snowboard, surf, go jogging after dark, speak to strangers, or drink excessively. Don't do anything, frankly.
Or, accept that anything new involves a measure of risk, take the necessary steps to minimise the unnecessary elements of that risk, check it out, and then decide.
So, take the safety course, wear gloves, ankle hi boots (minimum), a decent jacket, and a brightly coloured helmet at all times, and don't position yourself where anyone could hit you if they actually *tried*.
