From what I can remember, there's a bit more to something being deemed Not safe for life. While NSFW content can be embarrassing or undesirable in a public setting (like work, where your boss can see your internet history), NSFL is unsafe anywhere because the content is so graphic that it can leave you utterly traumatized. Some forms of NSFL are illegal (or recordings of illegal acts, found footage, snuff films, etc). A perfect example of this is the "Run the Gauntlet" shock site. (In short: NSFW is usually associated with porn while NSFL can refer to anything emotionally scarring, and since different things shock different people, that's why the terms can be used so interchangeably...)
