Yeah, I don't think I could take a (software) job where screwing up meant people die (or are even very seriously inconvenienced - e.g: airline booking systems), I don't want that responsibility on my head.
My props to the people who do the countless jobs where messing up means terrible things (in and out of software), and not just lost revenue and 'downtime'.
