People in general are pretty good at assigning blame - pedestrian hit by car is usually blamed on the car unless the pedestrian was doing something exceptionally stupid - pedestrian hit by train is usually blamed on the pedestrian.
The job of government should be to evaluate and require safety equipment where it makes sense - to protect the innocent and reduce issues. And part of that is recognizing when people are using something regularly “against the law” and fixing the underlying issue, not just make it “more illegal” (for example, people using a railroad bridge to cross a river).
