everyone has to make their own choice about it for themselves of course, but for the most part if you can ride a bike in aero, you can ride a bike in stretched out aero (if you set it up right and all those caveats) without much issue. You could make an argument that in "sudden" dangerous situations you're probably going to be less reactive than in a "normal" position, but how much, as always, is difficult to speculate.

The ideal solution (in my mind at least) is something slightly more elegant than the Felt above, where the basebar is still in a traditional position. Need some custom work done to make it work though.

I played with this (and the egg) a few years ago with some hackjob solutions, but priorities changed and I turned my attention to "legal" setups. Always fun to see somebody working on it though, however in general I think the Superman position isn't quite as slippery as most people assume it is.
