Well actually...

By not patching your system you're leaving yourself open to exploit and the
danger of having your machine attacking another machine.

Now- If a person doesn't get something fixed that they know exists and can
avoid an 'accident' then they are indirectly responsible. (EG. You know the
safety seat you're sticking your baby in has a recall because it can
strangle your child. Yet you never trade it in. You're still indirectly
responsible for your babies death.) Then again... You'd have to prove
that... >.<
