An absolutely safe aircraft does not exist and, for good engineering reasons, aircraft are designed to be safe enough (roughly 1 in a million per fh likelihood of fatality). Transport aircraft are generally safe enough without ejection systems whereas most fast jets need ejection systems to make them safe enough. Note that 'safety' in this context is purely associated with the risk to life.
