I admit I'm dumb for running low on fuel... especially while crossing a bridge ;0> but what a dumb design.

Its not really a dumb design- if you continue to try and start the engine the fuel pump will run, your fuel pump is cooled by fuel. If there is no fuel left, the tank is full of vapors and your fuel pump begins to overheat(do you see where this is going?) The pump draws too many amps and pops the fuse before anything bad happens. Lesson learned here-dont run out of fuel.
