Unfortunately, they are lessons being re-learned. A brief read of the story at the link below shows something of a cavalier approach to flight test after system modifications. "He didn't wear his protective gear because it was just a test flight and he is a great pilot." If that's not on the list of "famous last words" I don't know what is. Come on, guys! If you knew it was going to work properly, you wouldn't need to test it!
