I'm not sure what I would do in this situation but I would be giving serious consideration to "Maybe I just shut the company down and send any money back to the investors because this can never be a functional business." I guess this is why I'm not a founder. (5/5)
But returning to my original hypothesis, there are really 2 situations here: (1) Adequate safety guardrails are possible. Then this is a standard tort law claim and these companies either fix it or continue to pay ruinous damages. (2) It's not possible. That's the "shut the company down" case.
