Guaranteed?

Course not.

There's always the unusual, inexplicable event.

I always wonder what's meant by 'innocent bystander' though, is there a
'guilty bystander'?


Many, many years ago I lived in Berlin. My parents told me that in any
traffic accident everyone present shouldered a part of the blame 'for
being there' - I think 10%. So, in that sense, German law appeared to
say there are guilty bystanders. (I have no idea of the actual truth of
this 'blame percentage', but it was passed on to me and I always thought
it an interesting concept.)
