Sounds like you've answered your own question there. If you think its un safe it probably is. Can't understand why you want to stop the flying back lead anyway. You say your trying to stop the backlead hitting the tip ring. Just real in slower that should stop it.

Or fit the flying backlead the other way round.

Genius..more resistance.less liable to fly up the line as much I'm guessing??

To be honest I've not heard or seen anyone use a flying backlead

One of the many things invented to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

. . .mm not sure about that . . .flying back leads are useful when fishing semi slack lines etc (topography permitting) and also when using a bait boat as they drop the leader below the boat ensuring no frap ups in the props etc - you can even reverse the boat if necessary (prior to dropping the rig) without fear of tangles etc

I dont know, you shouldnt really be fishing a semi slack line with a line that doesnt sink imo.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
