The whole point of a factor of safety is to accommodate uncertainty.

安全系数的全部意义在于适应不确定性。

Another element worthy of scrutiny is the factor of safety used in the original design.

另一个值得仔细研究的因素是原始设计中使用的安全系数。

The Arecibo suspended platform cables were designed to have a factor of safety of two, meaning they were twice as strong as the expected static loading from the platform.

阿雷西博悬挂平台电缆的设计安全系数为两倍，这意味着它们的强度是平台预期静态载荷的两倍。
