No, they're really not. And that is spelled out clearly in Kickstarter's terms of service. Multiple places in bold font if I recall correctly. They're morally obligated to *try* to deliver, but legally they could damn near just take the money and run. Or, you know, walk slowly, because noone will have any legal recourse. If you don't like those odds then you're welcome to not contribute to kickstarter projects. It's very much a buyer beware situation, and there have been at least a handful of projects that are not only unlikely, but would have to actually violate the laws of physics to deliver on their promise.
