My thoughts, too. I was watching a bunch of highlight dunks the other day, and I noticed how the vast majority of them the player never loses his balance because he never grabs the rim.

Grabbing the rim and then claiming you had to hang on because you lost your balance doesn't give you the safety exemption.
