No, it would not work.

You don't install Safari for a user, you install it on a system. 
Installing from three different users will make no difference at all.

Safari is just a very thin shell around WebKit.framework which lives in 
/System unless you're doing some non-obvious tricks. Any approach which 
doesn't acknowledge this is bound to fail. There's a lot more than just 
the .app at work.
