Welcome to the billiard, pool, and snooker glossary of terms. This is the definition of Containing Safety as it relates to cue sports. You can also view the entire billiard dictionary.
A containing safety is a type of safety shot which takes place at the mid way point of a safety exchange. A containing safety is not like a typical safety in that it is not meant to place the opponent into a difficult situation with respect to their next safety. Instead, a containing safety is done as such that it does not leave the opponent with an easy pot on. A slow roll up to the pack is a typical snooker situation where a player is likely to utilize a containing safety.
I hate you for playing that containing safety.
