It does happen, I've been there done that myself. You lived, so you learned, and probably will use that in the future. Aviation's great ain't it!

It sure is. There's a saying that comes to mind though, "You can't expect to make all the mistakes yourself and still live to tell about it, so try and learn from others'." Good advice.
