By your own admission you didn't think there was intent to harm which is the basis for a malicious contact call.
Webster's defines malicious as, "given to, marked by, or arising from malice". Malice as, "desire to cause pain, injury, or distress to another".
I know HTBT but by what you describe, no call other than "safe".
This isn't the E-Club, Chief. Intent to harm is irrelevant and impossible to read unless you are the Amazing Kreskin.

Since no one can foresee specific injuries caused by a callous act, there are rules to penalize those who place others well-being in jeopardy through stupid acts and blame them on the game.
