What’s the difference between saftey matches and strike anywhere matches?

A safety match requires the striker portion of its package to light — thus, the added safety in using this type of match.  The Strike Anywhere Match, can be lit using any rough surface, making them more dangerous when allowed into the hands of children, but also making them more versatile in emergency situations.

Should you, for instance, wish to place a few matches into a waterproof container for placement into your emergency survival kit, safety matches by themselves would NOT be a wise choice.
