just curious, is there any safey mechanism that keeps you from deleting it?

otherwise would you be unable to enter recovery and have to go to apple store and hope they can fix it?

I assume you're referring to the root directory. If so, the consequences would be catastrophic. This is why you need to enter your password to do it.

Safety mechanism? Common sense.
