I see each part playing a functionality role, instead of safety-related role. A broken functionality might cause a safety issue. but it is still a functionality issue. A rider could fall off when a pedal is broken. That's just an undesirable consequence of broken functionality. A broken functionality always means things not working as expected, and naturally causing unexpected results. Most unexpected results can be safety issues, unless it is a win of a lottery.
