Safe is all, I.E. you can't damage anything even when shorting the VBUS and GND lines.
The boost converter however can deliver a max of 200mA and is supposed to throw error when that max current limit is tripped.
See my improved booston shellscript in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...02#post1023402 and http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/usr/sbin/booston (should also be included in recent version of h-e-n already) - it will clearly notify you when you exceeded max current :-).
Please also don't miss to read #1 and #9 (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=857) in this very thread!

cheers
