Also, cinderella, the reason we can do a melacha when there is a danger to one’s life, is because the same Torah that tells us to keep Shabbos, also tells us (Vayikra 18:5) “You shall observe my statutes and my ordinances, which a man shall do and live by them; I am Hashem.” The Rabbis derived from the words “and live by them” that with the exception of 3, the laws of the Torah were not intended for one who is in a situation of sakana, because we are meant to live by them, not die by them.
