Alonso will get decent mileage during the practice days, even if the ROP and pre-Indy testing is not particularly long. It wouldn't surprise me if it's multiple race distances, more than any F1 testing allowed these days.
As for the safety comment, may I direct you to the British F4 accident that happened last weekend. Or Alonso's own injuries in F1. Motorsport is not some padded risk-free activity. I would like to add that Hinchcliffe's crash was caused by a mechanical failure of an obsolete part (which was also run way past its recommended mileage).

What are the engine mileage rules for Indy? Can a team swap out an engine before its prescribed mileage and not be penalised?
If there is a metric shedload of testing going on, the Honda might get a workout
