inherently dangerous

inherently dangerous
Danger inhering in instrumentality or condition itself at all times, so as to require special precautions to prevent injury; not danger arising from mere casual or collateral negligence of others with respect thereto under particular circumstances. Brown v. City of Craig, 350 Mo. 836, 168 S.W.2d 1080, 1082.
An object which has in itself the potential for causing harm or destruction, against which precautions must be taken. Dangerous per se, without requiring human intervention to produce harmful effects; e.g., explosives. Product is "inherently dangerous" where danger of an injury arises from product itself, and not from defect in product. General Bronze Corp. v. Kostopulos, 203 Va. 66, 122 S.E.2d 548, 551.
Work is "inherently dangerous" when in ordinary course of events its performance would probably, and not merely possibly, cause injury if proper precautions are not taken. Palaidis v. U.S., D.C.Fla., 564 F.Supp. 1397, 1401.
