Some examples of willful and reckless misconduct include: • Attempting to minimize or conceal a known safety hazard at an amusement park; • Intentionally assigning a worker with defective equipment or a piece of equipment known to malfunction;

  3. Requiring welders to work without protective gear; • Car accidents caused by drunk drivers • Driving a car at 100 mph in a known 15 mph school crossing zone; • Intentionally ignoring a person's calls for help when he or she suffering serious injury on business premises; and • A surgeon who operates under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
