Not sure why someone would think steel is safer for this application? Considering the way the loads are applied through the threads, aluminium will hold up just fine. From a long-term safety perspective, the chances of properly anodized aluminum corroding to the point of fatigue are much smaller than the chances of steel corroding to the point of fatigue.
