As a long time c++ developer there's a big difference between when something shouldn't happen and when it can't happen. Rust makes certain classes of issues fundamentally impossible (ironically, leaks are possible in Rust), while in C++ it depends on how well you can enforce certain code guidelines on yourself and anyone that works on your same codebase. Also, you get like zero assurances that other people code has been written with the same quality standards as yours, as long as something is very easy to mess up, it will probably be inadvertantly messed up by someone.
