(1) You have to trust that it works correctly. There have been past issues with bitaddress.org.
(2) You have to trust that the addresses generated are not generated in a predetermined way. Some users have verified some updates of the code.

2. RIGHT-CLICK
3. SAVE AS...
4. DISCONNECT internet
5. OPEN saved file
6. MOVE mouse to generate address.
7. WRITE address on paper
8. WRITE private key on paper
9. STORE paper with address and private key in safe place
