but I thought rust was bug proof and completely safe?
Safe? Eh, may be. Bug proof? You need a bug proof brain first.
It's as bug proof and safe as the developers using the language.
Far from bug proof. You can write as many logic bugs as you want (as that's what happened here), but it'll save you from a common class of potentially devastating memory safety and data race bugs in safe Rust.
