Unsafe Rust has significantly more safety guarantees than C or C++. It doesn't disable the type system, bounds checking, ownership tracking or borrow checking.

It does not disable, it enables. Unsafe doesn't turn anything off, it adds new capabilities instead. https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/what-unsafe-does.html
