Run-flats are they really safe?

Interesting, read numerous reviews of run-flats and impression are that they are less safe because of much higher frequency to get a puncture compared to non-RFTs. All the reviews did not recommend run-flats implying that they are less safe because of the increased likelihood of punctures, excessive wearing, and lower mpg because of the extra road friction.
