How to prevent flickering animation of a Safari css keyframe?

Question

I tried everything: from adding additional key frames (0%, 1%, 100% or 0%, 99%, 100%) to setting -webkit-animation-fill-mode to forward to the above -webkit - visibility in the opposite direction: hidden; the trick mentioned in other threads, but I still see a flicker in my css keyframe animation at the beginning of almost every animated iteration in Safari 7 (both on the desktop and on iOS). Chrome doesn't seem to flicker.

  border-radius: 50%;

, 99%, ! (Safari 8 OS X)

@-webkit-keyframes innerRipple {
  0% { height: 0px; width: 0px; opacity: 1; }
  95% { height: 200px; width: 200px; opacity: 0; }
  100% { width: 0px; height: 0px; opacity: 0; }
}

@-webkit-keyframes ripple {
  0% { height: 0px; width: 0px; opacity: 1; }
  95% { height: 300px; width: 300px; opacity: 0; }
  100% { width: 0px; height: 0px; opacity: 0; }
}

@-webkit-keyframes outerRipple {
  0% { height: 0px; width: 0px; opacity: 1; }
  95% { height: 340px; width: 340px; opacity: 0; }
  100% { width: 0px; height: 0px; opacity: 0; }
}
