/s obviously.
It's not user error if there is literally no safety factor built into these GPUs.
Even my worst GPU failure (RX 580 pulled power from PCIe slots) didn't result in melting or sparks or smoke. The Z77 mobo's PCIe slots simply went dead and it turned into an office mobo. And the GPU was sold and it passed Furmark at the shop.
Maybe what's really needed now is GPU INSURANCE!
$10 per month should be good, right?
