Yes in the two I've been in, it's not really a power rack is it doesn't have safeties. Though you know, benching in the rack if it's busy...
Oh I didn't know even though I've seen them in the gym, just never used them, used to stick to dumbbells . I assumed they had no safeties as on the pure gym website it says under the smith machine info
"Using the smith machine means you can train with confidence, knowing that if you run out of steam with the weight your lifting you can use the machine to hold it for you."

if you put the safety bars on the lowest level the bar will not touch your chest?
Cause they think it's safer, I think of it like a comfort blanket
I don't understand what I just watched
Maybe. You have to get lucky with heights for it to work right. You watch it not to touch when you arch but to be able to drop your arch and hit the safeties if you fail. I can't at my gym but my neck is under the safeties so if I failed I would roll it up my chest til it was on them then slide out with my head of the slide of the bench
You don't even really need safeties. Learn how to roll the bar down yourself/ don't put clips on so you can tip the weight off/ don't go close to failure
