Is this sit-up safe?

Hi,
I tried a new sit up in which I sat flat on a bed just up to my waist and had the other half of my body off the bed. I then continued to do the normal sit up routine, except with this new position I could go lower. It felt harder than a normal sit up, so I was wondering if this was also good as a replacement, and if it was safe to do them (i.e. damage to the back due to the incline after repetitive use). Any replys would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Csix.

There are machines that do the exact same thing in many gyms.
