Iron oxide (FeO2) has completely different physical properties than iron. Those properties -- brittleness, poor strength-to-weight ratio, among others -- make it dangerous in applications where solid structures and support are required.

Rusting is a problem because it will make the substance have a dirty color or, if it's a screw, the rustier it is, the harder it is to unscrew it. This rusting is due to the combining of rust and oxygen.

For a start, it is ugly.

It also makes metal weaker.

If the metal on a ship weakens it could create a hole, and the ship would sink.

If the metal on a bridge weakens, then it would be very dangerous, and could collapse.

Iron is used to build things because it is very strong, but when it rusts, it will weaken and break. Iron objects are destroyed by rust.
