    careless (f), often used in the worst sense of the word
    something or someone going easily over the thoughtful and usual behaviour
    Я так думаю.

    It can mean both can't it...

    Maybe some examples could be used.
    Please correct any Russian language mistakes I make.

    careless is more like беззаботная (literally careless), беспечная



    бесшабашная выходка
    бесшабашный поступок
    бесшабашное поведение
    бесшабашное решение
    бесшабашный человек
    бесшабашный ребёнок
    Я так думаю.

    бесшабашная is not negative

    a risk-taker, a daredevil
    I've got a TV, and I'm not afraid to use it

    yes I see what you mean.

    the context is in a difficult decision to a crazy thing

    and one said

    ужасно бесшабашная

    слово мне нравится

    My dictionary: "бесшабашный" -- restless, turbulent.
    But, these translation are missing the slightly negative meaning of the word -- its not also "restless", but a bit of "foolish"/"unwise"/etc.

    The movie "Stark Raving Mad" -- name translated to Russian "Бесшабашное ограбление" (http://www.kinoafisha.ru/index.php3?id1=1199&status=1)
    Кр. -- сестр. тал.
