Would you agree that one of the standards of safe product design is that the risk of severe injury or death is always unreasonable, and always unacceptable, if it could be prevented or minimized by reasonable safety measures?
That word reasonable is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting here. Reasonable to whom? Seems like it makes the question almost meaningless.

There is even a meme (sorry for the low quality): https://m.facebook.com/comedianoflaw/photos/a.2039413752958126/3189218351310988/?type=3&is_lookaside=1 https://m.facebook.com/comedianoflaw/photos/a.20394137529581...
