What is the highest load a rear rack on a bike can support?

Sometimes I'm on campus on my bike and a friend will want to go eat. This means I have to ride my bike extremely slow to stay next to them while talking. This is getting a little annoying and something I saw the other day gave me an idea. I saw a person riding on a rear rack of someones bike. I was wondering two things

1. Is this safe (structurally)
2. If so, what rack would be best for this?
