The fail safe is a mechanism in a crawlspace accessible through a trap door on the floor of the Hatch. Kelvin drunkenly showed it to Desmond, telling him that it was a backup procedure that could be used in lieu of entering the Numbers and pushing the Button, slurring that using the fail safe would 'end it all'. Desmond keeps the key to the fail safe inside his copy of Our Mutual Friend, and eventually operates the fail safe after Locke destroys the Computer and electromagnetism begins to destroy the interior of the Hatch.
May have triggered the large white explosion seen in the Season 2 finale.
