No rocket scientist here (not by a long shot) but isn't this risky?

Probably no riskier than other methods.

Read the part of the article about the abort system and the new COPV.

I am all for the commercial exploration / exploitation of outer space. Yet the question remains: Elon Musk.

“From a program standpoint, we went throgh a pretty extensive process where we laid out the different options for loading the crew, and assessing how the vehicles have been designed, and what the trades were,”

When this comes from the organization that signed off on the Apollo 1 design, the SST design (major contributor in both shuttle losses), the report on SRB damage in cold weather (prime cause of Challenger), plus the crappy insulation on Columbia.... Well lets just say I hope their ‘trades’ were weighted well.

“load-and-go” for “spam in a can”

It's no riskier either way. Either load first, with all the fuel right there when the crew boards, or board the crew, then fill 'er up.
