Safety scissors were an attempt to market scissors to consumers who had never even considered buying scissors before. At some point, a marketer thought to himself, "You know, scissors sure are awesome and all. But there's one problem with that: they're so awesome that pathetic n00bs can't handle them! Is there some way we can reach this untapped demographic by wussifying scissors?" Thus, the safety scissors were created. They did not sell well, however, when it was discovered that they were not sharp enough to cut veins, and thus the targeted demographic avoided them. Remember, scissors are never safe when placed in the right hand.
