(Cycling an airlock without checking your air supply will kill you, but only
you). What fundemental design problems are there that will let a single
person endanger the lives of the mojority of people in a space colony?

It's not even a fundamental design problem. I think a badly piloted
ship could endanger the whole space station fairly easily.
