If you're at Cadwell and it won't start, people around you will probably get it going for you, so don't worry about it! If it really won't start it's a waste of the entries, but won't cost any more - you'd spent the money anyway!
As for getting something reliable, they're all pretty reliable, even the sheds. Whatever you get, have the valve clearances done and belts changed, and the fueling set up on a dyno, and you'll be unlucky if it breaks down on you in a serious way.
No way around the breaking the leg bit I'm afraid, get insured with CICA and try not to fall off! I don't recall anybody breaking anything this year, although there were a few breaks last year.
