Of course they're safer---First of all, the speed limit is 20 mph, not 45 like 466. Secondly, it is REAL hard to T-bone someone at a 90 degree angle in a circle, most accidents will be a glancing blow. But not every intersection lends itself to a RB, and in the end, it is not poor intersection design, but poor drivers that cause accidents.
