Odd opportunity to speculatively victim blame, but okay.
It was pretty clear in the article. Read it.
It looks to me like the article is about boards malfunctioning.
You: my car malfunctioned after going 150mph, it’s the car’s fault.
The solution was to add a more obvious warning, that can still be ignored.
You’ll hear whatever you want to hear though, and it has no effect on me.
Me: "My car malfunctioned while going some undisclosed and possibly reasonable speed. It's bad that it malfunctioned, and the product would be safer for everyone if it didn't do that."
I haven't seen anything to suggest that the victims were all behaving excessively recklessly, as in your "driving 150mph" example. "Certain limits" is pretty vague, and based on context, sound like they pertain more to hardware constraints than to dangerous behavior.
