Reckless conduct endangering Life or Serious Injury.

Section 22 and section 23 of the Crimes Act 1958 carries the offences of Reckless Conduct Endangering Life or Serious Injury respectively.

These charges are often laid in relation to hoon offences where a person performs burnouts or skids amongst a crowd of people.

Other examples include

• Throwing a glass bottle in a pub towards other patrons;
• Throwing a heavy or sharp object (e.g., a brick, a bottle) from height; 
• Discharging a firearm in the direction of a person or into an occupied dwelling, even without intent to hit anyone;
• Setting a fire in an occupied building or one believed to be occupied;
• Exposing a person to a known and serious health risk (this has come up in cases involving reckless transmission-type conduct, though these fact patterns are less common post-abolition of the old HIV-specific offences)
