Reply to comment by jcracken in TIL the first confirmed victim of Takata airbags was 18y/o Parham. As she drove around a car park, she lightly bumped another vehicle making the airbag inflate, sending metal pieces at such tremendous force that one hit the teen’s neck slicing open her carotid artery. She bled to death in her seat by ahm713

The manufacturer should have warned them: you do this, and anyone dies, it’s felony murder. Carrie’s the death penalty in a lot of states.

(I’m not 100% you could make it stick — most jurisdictions actually list the felonies that are “inherently dangerous” — but these are mechanics not lawyers.)
