We also have to factor in not guessing an out; so if not sure about the pulled foot, the BR is safe unless the PU says no pull. And if the play is that close the BR would be running through the base, probably not going anywhere else, which means the safe call can be easily corrected.
I disagree with making the call before at least looking to the PU who should have seen it even if sliding toward 3rd. If no immediate response, call safe and ask again after the play.
