Would we say the same thing if some guy rode his bike off a mountain while not paying attention? Would we say nature is cold for taking his life?
Life is dangerous sometimes. You gotta take care sometimes. It's a hell of a lot safer than it was 50 years ago, 100 years ago, 1000 years ago, and 10,000 years ago, but it will always have elements of danger, and not paying attention is in fact, a good way to die in any age. You cannot eliminate all danger, nor do I think we should.

You're right, the term 'punishment' was incorrect, its more the reaction to his actions, where people get confused is that in this case his action was inaction or inattention.
I guess my point of that little ramble was this:
Its not as though no one has tried.
Its not like the C-Train is this lumbering death trap to ride on and its every man for themselves. There are extensive safety features.
That just makes things worse. It appears that the safer something is made the harder nature works to breed the better idiot.
