Redline is as far as the car can go before the fuel cut off kicks in. It is not the engine explosion mark. The engine can rev much higher without damage.
Starting and hitting redline is not a problem unless you are at temperatures well below freezing. I highly doubt the temperatures there are that low. Even then one redline rev won't likely hurt a thing.
It is fine the engine is not made out of glass so stop worrying about it.
