The Price of a Mistake (2004) Series #6 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. Copies of this video, the training booklet and the facilitator notes that accompany it, may be obtained directly from System Safety Services on DVD with appropriate chapters. Cost of this video or others in the series is $175.00 Canadian funds plus shipping and handling. A selection of any six (6) training videos may be obtained for $900.00 Canadian plus shipping and handling. This is a savings of $275 over individual ordering. Funds from the videos are used to produce further training videos in the series. Warning: This video has very strong emotional content and may not be suitable for everyone. Unfortunately the same accident occurred again over twenty years later when maintenance AGAIN made an error. The docket is stored in the Docket Management System (DMS).
