The Price of a Mistake (2004)(Series #6) - Released Nov. 3. 2004 Video length - 36 minutes. This video is the sixth of the series produced by System Safety Services and like the previous in the series, challenges the viewer to recognize the links that form to cause the accident. The video then demonstrates the links and finally the safety nets that can help prevent a repeat of the accident. This video is sadly based on an actual accident. A well meaning and conscientious AME is distracted at a critical moment and the resulting human error leads to the deaths of seven of his close friends. He also, will die as a result of this accident. However a human error before his, can be traced to the true cause of the unnecessary deaths. (See case study below) This video illustrates the worse nightmare of anyone who works on aircraft. The video is used in System Safety Services, Human Performance in Maintenance Part 1, workshop.
