heedlessly
Ignoring all warnings
Heedlessly means without paying attention to potential consequences or dangers—carelessly, recklessly.
Someone who acts heedlessly ignores warnings or fails to consider risks: She heedlessly wandered into traffic while looking at her phone.
The word implies a failure of attention rather than deliberate recklessness.
