I feel like a slap on the wrist would just incentivize this sort of behavior.

I think what they mean is it would bring about change across the entire industry to prevent this type of thing from happening regardless of who's in charge.

There are already industry standards to point to the left or right of the target when firing on set, there are already strict procedures and guides for actors and armorers both. This event happened due to multiple levels of gross negligence. To say "only prosecute for malicious intent" is just legalizing murder.

Yeah, I didn't say I agree too much with the concept, especially with the way airline safety has been pretty sketchy nowadays.
