Safe, yes, useful, no.

There is still no substitute for hard work.

Absolute crap. Care to elaborate on any specific machine?

I think I've heard about a study that showed that these things might have a very small effect on professional athletes. Not in terms of muscle growth but on regeneration/relaxation after a workout.
But if that effect exists, it's tiny and definately not worth the money.

I think they only work in injured muscles for their rehabilitation.

rehab good =) . Temp and natural contraction and vasoconstriction is needed. Bloodflow and localized nutrient intflux just isn't the same without good ole fashioned weights and sweat. Really I'm just bullshitting but you get the idea..
