General Provisions
Nothing done by accident or misfortune, without criminal intention/knowledge, while doing a lawful act in a lawful manner with proper care and caution, is an offence.
This protects genuine accidents during otherwise careful, lawful activity - if you're doing something legal, in a legal way, with proper care, and something unintended goes wrong anyway, that's an excusable accident rather than a crime.
If a tool's head accidentally flies off during ordinary, careful use and injures a bystander, and there was no lack of proper caution, this section excuses the user from criminal liability for that genuine accident.
