Are tubular K members safe?

I've been debating for awhile now whether or not to do a tubular K. I like the extra clearance it gives you for headers and whatnot. The weight savings are also nice..

However, I read somewhere that in a front-end collision the stock k member will drop the engine down under the car so it doesn't end up in your lap..

So, how safe is an after market tubular k member?

Thanks!!

If I were to get a tubular K member it would have to be an MM piece. Every shop i ask about tubular K's always asks what I am going to do with the car. If I say drag racing they say most brands are ok. If you say autocross they tell me no, except if it's an MM piece. that tells me right there that MM is the way to go. If the piece can't take everything I can throw at it I don't want it.
