Sure, the engines are different, but not necessarily in a more dangerous way. Supersports have lower torque at normal cruising rpms, so if your "panic situation" involves twisting the throttle, you wouldn't be any worse off than you would be on a cruiser.
The more dangerous (and more likely) aspect of a panic situation would be grabbing the front brake, as sport bikes have much more powerful front brakes than cruisers. A more user-friendly bike would give you more room for doing something stupid like grabbing the brake in the middle of a turn. But in truth, any bike will put you on the ground for doing that.
