<p>Yes. From the <a href="http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Sorry.PDF">rules</a>, under "Moving Backwards":</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>If you have successfully moved a pawn backwards at least two spaces beyond your own START space, you may, <em>on a subsequent turn</em>, move into your own SAFETY ZONE without moving all the way around the board.</p>

Additionally, if this your frst 3 pawns are already in the Safety Zone you earn the right to say "Nya nya nya Nya-nya" to your opponents for the rest of the day.

@GendoIkari the linked questions asks if you can move into the safety zone (you can't -- that's not backwards); this asks if you can move to just outside it (you can)

Yes. From the [rules](http://www.hasbro.com/common/instruct/Sorry.PDF), under "Moving Backwards":

> If you have successfully moved a pawn backwards at least two spaces beyond your own START space, you may, *on a subsequent turn*, move into your own SAFETY ZONE without moving all the way around the board.
