Not sure but, I always hike with another person. Many people hike alone. I have never found CT dangerous. ..but any hiking alone is a risk. Slips, falls can happen unexpectedly.
Depends on how you define safe, I guess. Hiking on a loan Trail is inherently dangerous. So I would use standard precautions for safety. But it's not unusually dangerous. It's remote, slippery in a few spots, Rocky and a lot of spots, should be ready to do first aid just in case. the part I was on you certainly weren't going through any or along any bad neighborhoods
