Hi and thanks for your question. This is not a "lightweight" rug as it's made form 100% recycled polyester material and is quite heavy. Based on the construction it shouldn't provide any more of a safety issue than a typical rug. Hope this helps and you enjoy the item!

This helps Thank you.

I'm still at the research stage.

Redecorating our living room and as you that takes time and money. Thanks again
