Nope, r+w will write over everything on the disk, but I have found -the-

Hmm, we both should read the man page of badblocks a bit better :).
I found this:
-n Use non-destructive read-write mode. By default only a
non-destructive read-only test is done. This option must not be combined
with the -w option, as they are mutually exclusive.
