The reason they're safer is that they're so clearly dangerous that everyone using one has to slow the fuck down to use them. That's also the only reason they're usable, since they can indefinitely starve drivers - their core logic is not compatible with the traffic algorithm. Inhate roundabouts and I will die on this hill.
How would you explain roundabouts having consistently better throughput, even when compared to traffic lights?
You'll probably die while being t-boned by someone else sharing the same view as you, it's strange that your country's road safety record is far worse than any country that has been using roundabouts for decades.
