Example 1:
Ravi, a construction worker, was operating a crane at a construction site. Despite being aware of the safety protocols, he negligently swung the crane's arm without checking if the area was clear. As a result, the crane's arm hit a passerby, causing serious injuries. Ravi's negligent act endangered the life and personal safety of the passerby, making him liable under Section 336 of the Indian Penal Code.

Sunita, a driver, was speeding through a crowded market area, ignoring traffic signals and pedestrian crossings.
