safe ! Especially if there is a solid reason for it.
It allows you to anticipate on them wondering why ur grade is so low and by highlighting your positive qualities, u will be one step ahead.

Worthwhile, in my view. I'd also ask your referees to include (the same!) mitigating circumstances if at all possible.
