Four strokes are so F-ing dangerous

Yeah. My Cr80 blew up twice in one month (my dad said something about the mechanic not changing to oil after the rebuild) and both times it had full power till it died.

Ive blown up four 2 strokes and all of them bogged out while pretty much wide open.

My kx125 blew up while I was flying down the road. It bogged out like the plug fouled then locked up. (top end)
My yz125 blew up 2nd gear pinned in a set of whoops. (top end)
My rm250 blew up while I was going up a straight. (top end)
While riding a friends cr250 it blew up climbing a hill. (crank)

I have never had an engine failure till my piston went at the dunes, and it didn't lockup either.

That's why I won't ride the dunes, if you're not air tight gonna be sucking in some sand. 

I never had a bike blow up, bikes usually become noticably hard to start when they need a new top end. 

The only bike that ever blew up of mine but I wasn't riding it was a 1970 Honda SL125S (4 Stroke).  I wouldn't really count that though because that bike sat in the woods for years before I got it and we tried to get it running.  It was never running right and when my dad thought he finally had the points adjusted right (which were actually ones we had laying around from an ATC 90), it locked up in 3rd gear.  Never took it apart though or did anything with it.  So being that it was sitting out in the woods for years before it was given to me I can't count that as an honest bike blow up, was amazing the bike was running at all.

I have had one 4t stop on the face of a jump and numerous 2 strokes. all in my 125 days. The 450 just died going up the face of a 4th gear pinned double and i just bailed. The 125's mostly died in "safe areas" but I had several let go in the whoops and twice on the face of a jump. The last time it locked up solid and thats when I broke all the bones it was like someone put a stick thru my spokes........ As stated before, both are equally as dangerous. If one dies on teh face of a jump it doesnt matter what stroke it is, your going for an unwanted ride!
