I would agree that a properly functioning DCT is likely to be safer than a 6MT for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is that the DCT just doesn't make mistakes, so its less likely to unsettle the car.

The difference is probably very small, and will vary inversely with the skill of the 6MT driver.

Imagine a 90 year old driving a 6MT vs a DCT. Speaking only of the transmission, which is more likely to lead to a problem or even an accident?
