Errr ... wait... when you say "direct array indexing", you mean that this does or doesnt continue to do bounds checking on the array access? I could imagine that it is "unsafe" simply because direct array indexing prevents mathematically proving that the program wont crash (?), or it could be unsafe in the C++ way, where going off the end of the array corrupts your stack/heap?
