  Although, I thought safety matches were ones that will only strike on the rough side of the box, rather than a wall or chin stubble.

  But I rather like the idea that they have matches that don’t burn all the way down. www.britannica.com/science/safety-match

    Yes! I missed that part. It’s correct that it means that they only strike on the rough part of the box. The safety being in the fact that they don’t spontaneously ignite.

  Yep. That’s pretty much correct.
