It is still safer than c, as it will not allow any segfaults. The only thing that can happen is a runtime error but no memory corruption so it is more akin to say Java or Go

The context of this thread is unsafe, which can segfault.

You are describing the behavior of standard, safe rust code.

Using unsafe blocks throws all that away.
