heedless

/ˈhiːdləs/adjective

Paying no attention to something; careless of risks or warnings.

Example sentence

  • Heedless of the storm warnings, they set out on the lake anyway.

Usually followed by 'of': heedless of the danger, heedless of the cost. More literary than 'careless', and it implies warnings were available and ignored.
