There are probably a million equivalent examples. Anything can be convoluted into an instrument of death if used improperly. Why don't I swallow the calculator sitting on my desk, and sue Casio for not putting a "Do not eat this calculator." label on it.
The track wasn't designed for toboggans, to be used in unlit conditions, with no supporting track staff, by users with no safety equipment.

Or another analogy would be a drawbridge which is closed and stuck in the up position.
If you drive a car over it Dukes of Hazard style, should the engineer who designed the bridge be liable? Not in my books.
