It is better to be safe than sorry - means you're better off not taking a risk because if you do things might go wrong and you would regret it.

It's also a way of saying it's best to prepare - if you wear a belt and braces (suspenders) your trousers will stay up, so you're safe. You'd be sorry if they fell down.
