Also, external safeties can fail. It's a mechanical device.

My P229 DAK has an internal safety (trigger activated firing pin block) so if by some wierd way the hammer drops without the trigger being pulled (maybe a worn sear?) it will not discharge. Barring that, I know that the only way my pistol is going to fire, is if I put my finger on that trigger and pull it (which of course, will only happen when I fully intend to fire, thanks to my following the safety rules).
