The rule of thumb that we have always used regarding the safety base has been that if the throw pulls the defense to the foul side of the bag, then they may use the orange side to make the play and the runner can then use the white side as her bag. The purpose of the safety base is simply that, to cut down on the collisions at first as a result of "bang bang" plays.
