Unless you define "safe", *any* program is unsafe. Somebody could read the program listing, which could trigger a traumatic childhood experiece. (Yes, I'm being silly. But the point is very serious. Even with less silly examples, whether a language or subset is "safe" entirely depends on what you define to be "safe", and these definitions tend to vary vastly across language communities.)
