(2,337 posts)in an incident being caused on its own by an inherent flaw which occurs independent of meddling (faulty wire coatings causing a short, improper metals cracking under stress), and someone deliberately circumventing a safety fearure, thereby creating an incident?
If a gun has a safety, but the user goes out of their way to not use it and causes their own injury, there isn't a flaw in the gun. Everything on earth is designed with a reasonable expectation of human competence and self preservation in mind. The gorilla enclosure was designed with the reasonable belief that a mother wouldn't let her kid run off unattended in a park full of deadly animals. Same shit.
We wouldn't ground a fleet of planes because someone allowed their kid to run over and pop the escape hatch over the atlantic either.
