sorry, but, I (don't only) think that the Ares-1 is a bad designed
rocket (that can't fly) but (also) that it could become VERY dangerous
if a manned or test launch abort occurs

that since and SRB-5, without the ejected Orion and the broken 2nd
stage, it could reach (and falls on) the cities around KSC, as
explained in this ghostNASA article:

The Ares I SRB has range safety system that would split apart the
casing, shutting it down.
If Clueless would read more, he would have found out that the
Challenger SRB's were blown apart preventing them from reaching land
It is a requirement for all launch vehicles to have such a system and
without one, Ares I can not be flown from KSC

Not, it's not. AMROC's SET-1 vehicle didn't have one, and neither
does SpaceX Falcon 1. I don't think that Pegasus does, either. No
reusable piloted vehicle would have one. It is only a requirement on
a government range, and even there, it can be waived.
