“How about the one who learns from the mistake of others? Not a whole lot of that here. Most would rather learn from their own mistakes. Experience is a tough teacher. She gives the test first and the lesson afterward.  Too bad the ground isn't made of NERF material.”

 

The mistakes of others are well recorded, often in post mortem analyses of accidents.

 

I would contend it is better to learn from these, rather than one’s own, as it is likely one won’t be in a position to learn from it.
