As a tangent, I think the electronic scoring has helped free up the 2nd RO to watch the stage/shooter, because now he doesn't have to spend that time adding hits. I know I feel much more in tune to what's going on, can better watch for procedurals, stage issues, etc now w/ the tablets. And on that thought, that's why I don't like the 2nd RO to score behind the shooter, they should be watching the action...

wow, I've probably seen it only half-dozen times in ~15 yrs...
I don't think I ever saw the gun get loaded before situation was realized.
once I was the guy down range (only guy on squad pasting so I was attentive to what was going on, realizing those are the situations when bad things happen.... when I heard the LAMR command I started yelling STOP STOP and ran out where I could be seen).
I agree no one is perfect, as much as we try to be. That's why I also feel everyone needs to take on some of that responsibility. Belts/suspenders in addition to one very over-worked pants button... 'cause no one wants that single point of failure to let loose.
you mention incidents in the work place... there's usually "root cause," but there's also usually "contributing factors."
