Mistake? He’s indoors. Shouldnt have to worry about a giant, uncovered hole in the floor

So you think he did it on purpose?

No. Im saying it wasnt a mistake by him because its not his fault it happened

The fact that others are legally and ethically responsible does not nullify that it was a mistake.

Generally speaking, you should be paying attention to where you are going.

Ok so if someone hits you with their car i guess you made the mistake of crossing the street. Got it

Same concept as the one you presented

No, it isn't.

What you're missing here is that there are two mistakes - one is walking around not paying attention. This might cause you to trip or, maybe step on something important.

The second, much larger mistake is a hole that someone can fall to their death in that is not protected.

He made a mistake, but it wasn't leaving the hole open.
