Of course, the word “safe” means without risk and that unfortunately is not possible.
I agree with the sentiments of what you say wholeheartedly but we both know that "safe" does not mean without risk. Travelling to work by car carries risk but it is considered safe. Walking to work is safe but carries risk. Flight in a single engine aircraft at night is safe for a pilot to take friends flying but not "safe enough" to carry fare paying passengers.
When we say safe I believe me mean safe enough. Is tandem skydiving safe? Scuba diving?
