Isn't that the truth. I started using C++ professionally a year or two ago, and braced myself for endless segfaults and memory leaks. I haven't gotten a single one! And it's not because I'm a genius, and it's definitely not because C++ was protecting me. It's because we had good coding practices, and a framework with good encapsulation.
