"Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life"

I don't know about that particular meaning in this verse (Lev. 19:16), but the verse is in a section that deals with overall good demeanor and responsible behavior toward your neighbor, including "love your neighbor as yourself" in Lev. 19:18. Your thought immediately brought to mind "Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (Romans 13:10 NIV) and "Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins." (James 4:17 NIV) along with "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:18 NIV) These principles are embodied in instructions like Ex. 23:4 and Deut. 5:14 and surely stand behind the injunction in Lev. 19:17.
