Generally, I think the closed loop coolers are quite safe to use. I've had the H50, H70, and H100 and no problems at all with them.
I suspect what leads to them leaking is the pump failing (either just by wearing out or loss of power) which causes the coolant to warm up and expand beyond what the loop was designed for (leading to a build up of internal pressure on the loop) and causes the loop to burst.

Yup...I've heard the same thing. In fact, I've followed a few users who posted their experience with the Corsair RMA and in all cases they were compensated for the damaged parts.
