You could try going to Go in the Finder > Go to Folder > Type /Users/**Your Name**/Library/Safari > then try renaming the extensions folder. It is possible that you are using an extension that could be causing Safari to crash. If that doesn't solve it, try reinstalling Safari either by booting into your Lion installer, most Mac installers have an option to reinstall Safari. You could also try downloading it on another computer and bring the installer over to the problem machine with a USB key. Then just reinstall that way if need be.
