Sounds like that could get sketchy fast, you ever crash?

Absolutely gets sketchy! Happened to my son a few times. He did crash once.

Happened to me, too. Because of how the stem folds, you can "catch it" and kind of recover by pushing forwards on the handlebar. Not something you can safely ride at that point, but it can avoid a crash if you're lucky. They apparently said there were dozens of crashes, and they really should be replacing the latch with something stronger and more secure. The metal itself is brittle and isn't designed to take the constant forces put upon it. It should be a steel piece, not aluminum (or Chinesium).

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.
