    Looks like the pad was set down onto a foreign object(s) with the weight of the polisher for a period of time?

    Doesn't appear torn or gouged. JMO
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    It is still safe to use this pad?

    It will collect polish and debris, so why chance it.

    Looks like wear-and-tear from improper usage. Have you used that pad while saturated and/or overheated it? Looks overworked to me.

    "Is it safe to use"? Probably. But if you have enough new or better pads, use them.
