I recall seeing a video of a solid rocket booster that destroyed several cars in a parking lot with flaming chunks of partially burned propellant.

Range safety cannot reasonably be expected to protect everywhere that a rocket could possibly reach. In the worst case scenario, it must intentionally destroy the vehicle if it may stray outside the protected area such that the debris remain within it.

If you work on a launch complex, make sure you have good insurance.
