Safe? I don't know, and wouldn't tell anyone what to do anyway...

Since Google encourages Webmasters to check reverse-DNS on Googlebot requests, but there is no rDNS on this IP address, and since this user-agent did not send the usual and customary Googlebot headers, I blocked it without further thought. But that's just me... :)
