What negligence are you talking about? I don't think understand negligence. Merely cycling the bolt is not negligent. Find me one case where any court determined cycling the bolt and pushing a round into battery is negligent. It is a manufacturer's defect.
Just curious did you read this from the article you referenced?? See where it says "mechanical failure"...... That is exactly what happened. Remington manufactured an unsafe product that failed.Again.
You said indoors.
Here's something for you.
please read.

My contention is his friend didn't need to cycle the bolt into full battery to clear the magazine/ weapon. For all we know his friend touched off the trigger while working the bolt.
Yeah, I don't get it. Millions of Americans keep firearms indoors all the time. Are you saying keeping your weapons loaded indoors is wrong or unsafe? Where was the negligence? Try to find a single instance where pushing a round into battery was ever determined to be negligence. Check with your law enforcement friends.
Wow! Now we are changing the facts? If his finger was not anywhere the trigger should the firearm have discharged?
Sears wear out and fail. Thus causing a weapon to go off. Armorers and gunsmiths understand this. Just like mechanics understand parts on a car wear out and fail. Or poorly maintained/ adjusted cars can fail. And like I said your friend didn't need to go into full battery to unload his rifle.
