I think home insurance tends to cover stupidity, even quire severe
stupidity, as opposed to intentional arson.

How true this is will vary with company and perhaps by country as well.

In other areas I've had insurance pay out on rather less than
house-immolation instances of stupidity on at least 2 occasions - and
perhaps more if I tried hard enough to remember.
On occasions a suitable number of years apart I broke a car windscreen and
a large plate glass ranchslider door by throwing things which bounced
better and flew further than any merely-phtsical object had a right to do
:-).

The ranchslider would have been funny except for the value - a rather small
piece of pine branch, thrown along with many others onto a heap on a deck,
bounced cunningly off the top of the pile, skipped a few times and then
rotated with a small curved branch finger "reaching out" and tapping the
glass near the bottom.
Wow! It all fell out :-).
They paid.

Not that I recommend provoking your insurance company more than can be
helped.
