I always considered many design choices in Sailfish a victory of form over function. Your case is just one of many.

There are precious few things that can help you to get around the "stranger uses the phone in an emergency" situation:
  • If you set up a lock code, you get an emergency call button. I have (luckily) never had a chance to use it but I assume it calls the default emergency number without having to unlock the phone.
  • There is a patch to open the keypad by default when you start the Phone application.
  • Err, that's about it
None of them are as desirable as placing a contact directly on the home screen, but I am afraid it is the best you can work with. Heck, Sailfish does not even have a concept of the desktop (even though it insists on recreating the Desktop folder in /home on every restart) or placing a contact in the launcher, so what can you expect ?
