The service uses iptables-save and iptables-restore which are designed to install all iptables rules atomically. If you end up with a typo in your script you end up with a partially initialized firewall but iptables-restore first parses the entire rule set and doesn't touch the current rules at all if it finds an error making the process much more robust.
