I know software is special. That's why software defects are acceptable while a crumbling bridge is not.

With that said, should this apply to other industries? If I clip a warehouse shelf on my first day driving a forklift, should my wages be garnished for life to cover the inventory? Or is the inherent nature of the logistics industry such that an accident does not always imply liability? (Or other)

The employer is held liable in such a scenario.
