Alec Baldwin kills woman by firing prop gun on film set of Rust

I really can't believe this news story. Apparently the American film industry needs help in solving this unsolvable problem of people getting killed by live rounds on set so I'm offering my advice for free:

Whenever you have to use a prop gun that may or may not be filled with live rounds, instead of simply using it and trusting that most probably it doesn't have live rounds, shoot it into something other than a human being to check first. Every single time.

There. Hundreds of lives saved.

You're welcome.

Propmaster is in charge of such things. Essentially they hire a professional to make sure these things don't happen and occasionally they suck at their job so hard that somebody gets killed. The crazy part of the story is that the set was already made aware of a few incidents of mishandling and there were complaints that the set was unsafe but they just rolled with it anyway.

What I'm saying is meant more for the final person using the gun because there is apparently a lot of incompetency going around in the chain of handling before that so it can never be trusted again. There should simply be a rule, strictly 100% followed, that if you are pointing and about to shoot a gun at a person, you shoot it somewhere else first. The end.

All right, admittedly I'm thick as ****e, but I don't get it with Batty's picture. Seems to be a guy maybe getting sick at the side of the road (bending over, looking down, something anyway) while a car flies by. What's so sick about that. Explain to the oldie please and use small words you can still find in the OED.
