I dont think you can really call this a design flaw. Most 1911 style pistols can't be unloaded without the thumb safety being disengaged. I don't know what this bryco thing is, but the 1911 type pistols are very popular.
The baby sitter should have just put the gun back, or set it up somewhere instead of trying to unload it. Esp. if he does not know how to do so.
He should have also not been pointing it at the kid.
Many similar lawsuits have been 'shot down' in court. This one probably solely because of some jury issue, or an incompetent defense, rather than real substance.
