There's already been an industry-shaking accident that led to vast reforms in regulation and program design: the Elaine Herzberg crash.

I can't speak to every company in the space (and I can think of a couple that don't seem to have much in the way of safety), but all of organizations I've worked for are very diligent about safety and looking to improve. N > 1 here, so they exist.

That crash did not have the kind of effect on the perpetrators that it should have had.

Neither did the challenger disaster. Both are continuously (and somewhat tediously) referenced in the introduction to every safety-related discussion, alongside therac-25 for software talks and the martian orbiter for units library talks.
