Given the ways you can trigger UB there is no difference between Assembly and C with regards to safety.

Just type "undefined behavior" here. I'm sure you have the time.

I know what you mean, however I think C did bring down the amount of bugs compared to assembly, just by making code easier to read and higher level abstractions available.

It's still not much though.
