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.
Your baby seat analogy is flawed. In this case, you're having to make the decision between not pulling the car *entirely* off onto the shoulder when you have a mechanical breakdown, and risking being hit by another car - or pulling all the way onto that shoulder that looks like it's rather soft and crumbly and likely to spill your car into the ravine. (We actually had a case of that locally just a few weeks ago - a school bus going down one of the dirt roads around here went off the side.. then a dump truck coming down the road *also* went off the side just a few yards after passing the bus.. It was believed that in both cases, the soft shoulder contributed to the vehicle's sliding sideways and ending up on their sides...)
