Having experienced a rear wheel puncture (the most common on a motorcycle) both with and without Puncturesafe installed, having it installed was definately the safer.

I was lucky that when it was not installed, I was riding solo and it was only a smallish nail it picked up (the tyre was the wrecked beyond repair by the AA  using a "get me home" fix rather than transporting my bike and me home).

The time it was installed I was two up with lugguage in the overtaking lane of the motorway, picked up a puncture with a largish chunk of metalwhich ripped a 1" whole in the rear tyre. The Puncturesafe controlled the deflation enough for us to come to a controlled stop at the side of the motorway.

I have never installed in any of my cars yet, but that is purely because a car getting a puncture would be a lot more controllable then a motobike (from experience of both) although I would consider it in caravan tyres on a single axle one, maybe not so much on a twin axle as you still have some control with the second axle to bring the outfit to a halt.
