Fully to the right is on safe and you should not be able to fire the rifle with the safety in that position. To fire, the safety is swung all the way over to the left; the mid-position (depending on the exact model of Mauser) may be a takedown position.
In any case, the safety does not prevent the bolt from flying open - the locking lugs at the front do that when the bolt is closed and locked down.
